If you or a family member is injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. However, property owners are not strictly (or automatically) liable for your injuries if you are hurt on their premises. You must be able to show that there was a dangerous condition or hazard on the premises. Here are some examples of a dangerous condition: •wet floors •spills of foreign substances on floors •lack of proper hand-rails on stairs or ramps •pedestrian ramps that are too steep •irregular steps or stairways •inadequate lighting •cracks or other surface irregularities in sidewalks •potholes in parking lots •lack of mats or rugs at building entrances •inadequate maintenance of balcony or stairway railing •inadequate security •falling merchandise
