Can I Sue?
Can I sue the flea market? Do I sue the flea market or the store owner/operator? First and foremost, it is important that victims and their families know that they could sue for harm resulting from an incident at a flea market or swap meet. The right to sue is based on the concept of premise liability, which determines that all property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for their guests. In other words, they must identify and address any hazards present on the premises before any incident occurs. If they fail to do so, they could be liable for any harm resulting from incidents. Now, who can you sue? If the incident occurred in a common area (i.e. anywhere but in a store), you could sue the flea market owner or operator. If the incident occurred within a store or a stand, you could sue the owner or operator of the specific store or stand. In general, flea markets and swap meets take place on rented property; therefore, you could also potentially sue the property owner. It will all depend on the details surrounding the incident (specifically, the cause of the incident). For more information about your right to sue, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm today.
