Overview of Premises Liability
In Ohio, the duty a property owner owes depends on the injured person’s status on the property.
The duty owed for each type of person on the property is:
- Invitee: Owed the highest duty. Property owners must correct or repair known issues and reasonably inspect the property for hazards. These guests are typically on the property for the benefit of the owner, such as restaurant patrons or business customers.
- Licensee: Owners have a duty to warn these guests of any dangers that are not obvious. A licensee has permission to enter the property for non-business purposes, such as a social guest.
- Trespasser: Trespassers are owed the lowest duty by property owners. Owners must not engage in willful or reckless conduct that results in harm to a trespasser, but they have no duty to warn about or correct dangerous conditions.
Once the legal duty has been established, the victim must show that the property owner breached their duty. Proving the owner’s negligence, including their duty and breach of duty, is key to recovering compensation for your injuries.
Common Damages Available in Premises Liability Claims
If you have been hurt because of a property owner’s negligence, you can recover both economic and non-economic damages. After an accident, a victim is likely to have medical bills and other expenses in addition to their physical and emotional pain.
Thankfully, economic and non-economic damages allow victims to recover compensation for all these losses, such as:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost wages
- Lost benefits
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability
In many cases, the value of your intangible losses can be worth even more than your financial losses. The experienced team at the Law Office of Michael J. Tremoulis can help put an accurate value on your claim to ensure you are getting all the compensation you are owed.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Premises Liability Accident in Ohio?
Ohio law typically allows injury victims two years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit for damages. This two-year deadline applies to most premises liability cases as well. Missing the deadline may completely bar you from recovering compensation for your injuries.
You should be aware, however, that special rules may apply in some cases, depending on the facts of your case. This is why you should always get help from a lawyer as soon as possible. At the Law Office of Michael J. Tremoulis, we can help you ensure your claim is filed before the deadline so that you don’t miss your chance to recover compensation.
