Elements of a Premises Liability Claim
Washington state law mandates that property owners maintain safe premises for lawful visitors. Lawful visitors include:
- Licensees: Individuals with the property owner’s express permission to enter for personal reasons.
- Invitees: Individuals with the property owner’s express or implied permission to enter for their purposes, such as salespeople and mail carriers.
Premises liability injuries can include slip and falls, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. Property owners must address any foreseeable risks these individuals may encounter while visiting their properties. They should take steps to correct these issues or prevent injuries by marking hazards or verbally warning guests. Property owners do not owe a duty of care to trespassers, except in rare cases involving children.
Succeeding With Your Premises Liability Lawsuit
The concept of foreseeability is crucial in premises liability lawsuits. If the injury-causing element of the property was a foreseeable and preventable risk, the plaintiff is likely to succeed. The plaintiff’s attorney must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and that it was the sole cause of the plaintiff’s damages.
A successful premises liability claim can result in compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Long-term treatment costs
- Lost income
- Lost future earning capacity
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
- Potential punitive damages for egregious negligence or criminal behavior
