Premises Liability - Property & Business Owner Liability

In Missouri and Illinois, and most other states, commerical and residential property owners owe a duty to make their property safe from defects and commercial property owners have the additional duty to inspect their property on a regular basis to make sure there are no dangerous conditions which can hurt business customers.

If a visitor or tenant living on another person's property is injured, the owner of the property may be legally responsible if it was the owner's negligence that caused the injury.
