The Responsibility of Property Owners Under Premises Liability Law

A property owner has a duty to inform all people allowed on the property of dangers that may cause injury. If a property owner or manager fails to inform or protect people from known or foreseeable dangers, then visitors and workers may be exposed to avoidable injuries. The types of accidents and injuries include:

Construction sites can be a minefield of workplace hazards if they are not properly maintained and secured. The owners of construction sites are responsible for providing safe sites free of known hazards, including open holes, unstable structures and chemical hazards. However, under certain circumstances the owners of construction site can avoid liability claiming that the injured workers exclusive remedy is workers’ compensation.  Thus, if you are injured in a construction site accident, you may be eligible to receive workers compensation. But if you are an employee of a general contractor or subcontractor and another contractor is responsible for your injury, you may also have a legal right to file a lawsuit against that contractor.

Missouri law requires premises to be safe and worksites free of all known and foreseeable hazards. Illinois law requires property owners and occupiers to exercise reasonable care regarding the state of the property. If you were injured and the accident was not your fault, you may have a legal right to seek damages. When a worker for a subcontractor is injured because of the negligence of another contractor, the worker may bring a lawsuit to recover compensation for injuries suffered in the accident including medical bills and lost wages. Premises liability law is complicated and each case depends on the individual facts of the accident. Talk to a knowledgeable Missouri/Illinois premises liability attorney about your accident.
