The notice requirement in a premises liability claim is an important legal concept because it requires that property owners know about—or should have known about—dangerous conditions on their properties before they can be responsible for injuries caused by that condition.
Landowners and Safe Condition 3 Major Facts You Should Know
The notice requirement in a premises liability claim is an important legal concept because it requires that property owners know about—or should have known about—dangerous conditions on their properties before they can be responsible for injuries caused by that condition.
- Landowners must exercise ordinary and reasonable care to protect the safety of people expected on their properties. This includes protecting against risks associated with dangerous conditions, which they can do by making regular inspections or taking other affirmative steps like being aware if any potential dangers exist – but you still need proof that an owner knew about these things before you were injured.
- To win a premises liability claim, the party suing must prove the landowner knew of an unsafe condition on its property and failed to fix it before they were injured. The knowledge applicable will depend upon whether there is proof they actually saw the danger. If so, they had actual knowledge.
- Implied knowledge is a type of constructive knowledge where you rely on the landowner having known about something because either it was an obvious hazard, or it had been around long enough to see what was wrong with their property.
