Understanding Maryland Premises Liability Laws

In Maryland, premises liability law requires the victim or injured party to prove that the owner or tenant of the property was at fault for the accident and to prove the extent of the injuries sustained. Our attorneys must prove that despite your attempts to be careful and your assumption of risk, the accident was not your fault, and you could not have prevented it. We will also have to prove who was at fault and how by determining what type of plaintiff you are:

• Invitee – An invitee is someone invited to a property as a guest or customer who provides an economic benefit to the property owner or tenant, such as a visitor to a store or restaurant.
• Licensee – A licensee is someone who was invited but doesn’t offer any economic benefit to the property owner or resident, such as when visiting a friend or relative’s home.
• Trespasser – A trespasser is someone who wasn’t invited and enters a property without permission.
• Child – A child is someone under 18 who was either invited to a property, came with a parent or guardian, or trespassed.
• Employee – An employee is someone who was injured at work in the normal course of their job duties at a location their employer does not own.

When Do You Need a Premises Liability Claims Lawyer?

You should hire a premises liability claim lawyer if you or your minor child sustained an injury on someone else’s property. This could be at a neighbor’s home, partner or ex-partner’s home, family member’s home, friend’s home, or anywhere else considered private property. You may have grounds for a premises liability case if:

• You or your minor child sustained an injury resulting from unsafe conditions, negligence, or poorly maintained property caused by the owner or resident’s failure to maintain the property.
• Your injuries can be proven in court and are proven to be the result of the property owner or resident’s negligence.
• A property owner or tenant was living in the property at the time.
• The property owner or tenant failed to fulfill their legal responsibilities for the care and maintenance of the property.

What to Expect When You Work with Our Lawyers

Our attorneys will do everything they can to investigate the details of your case. We will determine who was at fault and whether you have grounds for a premises liability lawsuit.

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death

We will interview or depose witnesses and gather all documentation and records related to your injuries. Once we file a lawsuit, we will represent you in court and negotiate on your behalf.
