Understanding Premises Liability Laws in Philadelphia
Navigating the complex premises liability laws in Philadelphia can be challenging, but our expert attorneys will help you understand your rights and guide you through the legal process. Some key aspects of premises liability law in Philadelphia include:
Duty of Care: Property owners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of any known hazards. The level of care a property owner owes to a visitor depends on the visitor's status, such as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
Proving Negligence: To succeed in a premises liability case, the victim must prove that the property owner was negligent in maintaining the property or failed to warn of a known hazard. This requires establishing that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take appropriate action.
Comparative Negligence: In some cases, the victim may be partially at fault for their injuries, such as not paying attention to their surroundings. Under Pennsylvania's modified comparative negligence rule, the victim can still recover compensation as long as their fault does not exceed 50%. However, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations: The time frame for filing a premises liability claim in Pennsylvania is generally two years from the date of the accident. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.
