A – When the precarious or unsafe conditions at a property have caused an accident and have hurt you, you may have a premises liability case. In fact, to move forward with premises liability lawsuits in Alabama, the following typically have to be associated with a given case:
- The scene of the accident included dangerous conditions that directly played a role in causing a person’s injuries.
- The parties responsible for keeping the property safe knew about the dangerous conditions at the property.
- These responsible parties failed to do anything to fix the dangerous property conditions and have had sufficient time to do so.

Q – Who is the negligent party responsible for my injuries?
A – It will depend on the facts of your case. Generally, however, one (or some combination) of the following will be a negligent party in premises liability lawsuits:
- A building owner – When building owners knew about or should have reasonably known about some unsafe conditions at their property and they fail to make an effort to fix these issues, they can be named as defendants in premises liability lawsuits.
- A building manager or landlord – In cases when a single person – like a landlord or building manager – is responsible for the upkeep of a building, this individual can be sued for contributing to the accident and victim’s injuries.
There may be other parties who can be held liable in premises liability lawsuits, so (again) it’s best to consult with one of our experienced attorneys for more specific info pertaining to you and your case.
