Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don't and you are injured, you may be entitled to compensation.
A Property Owner's Duty in New Hampshire
Businesses, landlords, and other property owners have a legal duty to take reasonable care to keep their premises safe for lawful visitors. That includes fixing or warning about hazards like wet floors, broken stairs, inadequate lighting, unsecured railings, and — especially in New Hampshire — accumulations of ice and snow. When an owner ignores a known danger, an injured visitor may have a premises liability claim.Common Premises Hazards
Premises injuries arise from slip and falls, trip hazards, falling objects, negligent security, swimming pool incidents, and dangerous building conditions. Each type of claim requires showing that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it within a reasonable time.Proving and Valuing Your Claim
Evidence is decisive in premises cases: photos of the hazard, incident reports, maintenance records, and witness accounts. Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Under New Hampshire's comparative negligence rule, partial fault does not necessarily bar recovery.Common Questions
