Types of Central Kentucky Premises Liability Accidents

Although slip and fall accidents are probably the most referenced premises liability cases, there are many other types of accidents that fall under the category of premises liability.  Some of the types that we see in Lexington and central Kentucky are the following:

• elevator accidents
• swimming pool accidents/some drowning accidents
  
• trip, slip, or fall accidents
• accidents in stores
• sidewalk accidents
• accidents in restaurants
• parking deck or parking lot accidents
• other accidents occurring on public, private, or commercial property
• dog bite cases
• alcohol liability cases
• many other types.
  

Simply put, Kentucky premises liability law holds the property owner responsible for certain injuries, property damage, or harm suffered by others.  Not every accident that occurs on another party's property entitles a premises liability claim or will result in compensation for the injured, however, so it is helpful to consult with an experienced central Kentucky or Lexington premises liability lawyer before moving forward with a case.  Important factors in premises liability cases are negligence and property defects.  In general, businesses or property owners have a standard duty of care to keep their environments safe for visitors.  The failure to do so is often considered negligent behavior and may result in the property owner being held liable for injuries caused by safety hazards.
