Premises Liability – DID YOU KNOW 1. Not all premise liability is a slip, trip, and fall. Other Premises liability can include:

a. Negligent Supervision – A homeowner can be liable for serving alcohol to a minor who as a result of being intoxicated causes injuries to himself or others

b. Negligent Security – A bar can be found liable if a patron of the bar inflicts injury on another after being served alcohol in that bar and the bar owner or employee of that bar had knowledge of the patron wanting to inflict injury on another.

c. Lack of Control – A fraternity house can be found liable if someone in that house is badly injured as a result of an assault from another due to the house’s failure to screen guests at the door.

2. Often times, these cases involve multiple wrongdoers. Insurance companies for the homeowner will often deny coverage to a homeowner and will file a lawsuit called a declaratory judgment action to prove that they are not required to provide a homeowner insurance in situations like these.

3. You need to hire an attorney who is experienced in handling multiple actions with multiple parties.
