- Premises LiabilityIn Alabama, a premises liability claim arises if you suffer injuries due to a dangerous or unsafe condition a landowner or business owner caused, was aware of, or should have been aware of. These types of accidents are commonly known as “slip and fall” accidents. These accidents are caused from small things such as wet floors or worn carpeting up to large things such as deep holes or pits that have no warning signs. While you have the responsibility to watch where you are going, the property owner has a duty to keep the property reasonably safe. Regardless of the cause, these accidents can result in serious injuries.
