Under the law, property owners must keep their premises reasonably free of hazards that can injure the public – and when correcting the situation is not yet possible, warn about the danger. They need to keep their property reasonably secure, too, so criminals don’t have free run and potentially cause harm. These are simple rules – but all too often, they’re ignored and someone gets hurt. When that happens, the injured party may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other potential damages.
