Wisconsin Premises Liability Lawyers

Proving Your Premises Liability Claim

The owners of property have a legal duty to maintain their property and ensure that anyone who enters it is protected from unreasonable risks of injury. Every location is unique and poses its own risks. While showing that the owner or manager was negligent in their care, we must also demonstrate that you were using the property in a reasonably normal and responsible way. The law views visitors to property by dividing them into three categories:

1. Invitees – These are people with the expressed or implied permission to enter the property. You are an invitee when you visit a friend’s home or enter a store. The owner owes an invitee a duty of reasonable care to keep the property reasonably safe.

2. Licensees – While licensees also have expressed or implied permission to enter a property, they are doing so for their own purposes. This could include someone who gained permission to hunt on someone else’s land or a salesperson visiting someone’s house. Here the owner owes the licensee the duty to warn them about dangerous conditions the owner knows of that the licensee is not likely able to discover on their own.

3. Trespassers – People who are not authorized to be on a property are usually owed nothing from the landowner. This has exceptions such as when the trespasser is a child. In that case, the owner must exercise reasonable care to avoid a reasonably foreseeable risk of harm to children caused by artificial conditions to the land such as the keeping of a swimming pool.

Your premises liability lawyer will have to show that the owner failed to perform their duty that they owed you. Premises can be dangerous for many reasons such as improper design or construction, lack of reasonable security, or dangerous materials not properly stored and cluttering the property. Studinski Law, LLC, has years of courtroom experience arguing for damages for our injured clients. We have successfully shown that property owners or occupiers were liable for injuries by proving one of the following:

• The owner caused the injury or dangerous condition.
• The owner knew about the dangerous condition but did nothing to rectify it.
• The owner should have known about the dangerous condition, and any reasonable person caring for the property would have discovered and fixed or removed it.
