Indianapolis Premise Liability Attorneys

As Hoosiers, we want our state to be a safe place, and fortunately, the law agrees. In fact, Indiana law says that property owners and non-owner property residents whose premises are open to the public have a legal duty to ensure their property is reasonably safe. So, if you were injured on another’s property as a result of their failure to uphold this duty of care, you may be qualified to receive a payment through a premises liability lawsuit. If found negligent, a property owner or business owner can be held legally liable for certain damages and losses you may have suffered as a result of an accident on their property.

First, you must have been on the private property legally, through explicit invitation of the property owner or business owner. Second, the property owner had to have owed you a legal duty to ensure that the premises were reasonably safe and free of foreseeable hazards.
