What must I do to prove negligence in a premises liability case?
You must prove that there was a dangerous condition, that the property owner was aware of that dangerous condition (or should have been aware), and that he or she did not take a reasonable action to remedy the situation. Note that a property owner has the duty to make his or her property reasonably safe, but he or she does not necessarily have to do everything possible to make the area safe. In short, a property owner has a duty to employ reasonable care to avoid any foreseeable accidents.
