Liability for these Incidents
Who is liable for the harm that you suffered after you walked into a glass door or glass panel and suffered harm? In general, the property owner will be liable. This is because the property owner, whether it’s a business or office, for example, has a duty to make sure that the glass has decals, etchings, warning signs, etc. in order to create conspicuity – so that a person doesn’t walk into the glass wall or panel. This is all based on the concept of premise liability, which determines that property owners have a duty to keep their entire property free of any hazards that can cause incidents and harm guests on the property. When property owners fail to do this, they can be liable for any harm resulting from an incident.
Can I sue? Do I have a case? Yes – you could have a case. Finding a lawyer that can help prove if there is liability against the property owner is the first step.
