Questions & Answers

Premises Liability FAQ

Premises liability holds property owners legally responsible for injuries caused by dangerous conditions on their property. It applies to falls, pool accidents, dog bites, inadequate security, and structural failures — any injury caused by the owner's failure to maintain safe conditions.
Yes. Utah law recognizes different duty of care levels for different types of entrants. Customers (invitees) receive the highest protection. Social guests (licensees) receive a moderate level. Even trespassers have limited protections, especially children. We'll evaluate your specific situation.
Temporary conditions can still create liability if the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors. The key is how long the condition existed and whether the owner had reasonable opportunity to address it.
Yes, but government claims have special rules. You must typically file a Notice of Claim within one year (sometimes less), before filing a lawsuit. These deadlines are strict. Contact us immediately if you were injured on government property.
Utah's comparative fault system allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were less than 50% responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight to minimize fault assigned to you.
