Premises liability comes into play if you have a personal injury case that involves an injury by an unsafe condition on someone else’s property. Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability cases, and these accidents can happen anywhere, whether it is an uneven city sidewalk, a friend’s home or a wet floor at a store.
