Homeowners, business owners, landlords, and property managers are all legally bound to maintain the properties they own in a safe manner so that guests and visitors to their properties are not harmed. They are duty-bound to make timely repairs to known perils, and at the very least, warn people about dangers that exist on their properties. If they do not, property owners open themselves up to liability from injured parties. If you have been injured on property belonging to someone else, reach out to our Monroe, NC premises liability attorney for information about recovering your damages.
