Premises liability is a legal concept that requires property & business owners to maintain a safe environment for visitors. In Maryland, these suits hinge on the owner’s duty of care and the injured party’s status on the property.
Under Maryland laws, property disputes refer to a owner’s legal responsibility for injuries victims sustain due to unsafe or defective conditions. Property claims are wide-ranging, from slip and fall accidents to injuries caused by inadequate security.
Property owners in Maryland have a legal obligation to maintain reasonably safe premises. This duty includes:
The extent of this duty can vary depending on the type of property and the visitor’s status.
Maryland law recognizes three categories of visitors, each with different levels of legal protection:
The strength of a property dispute depends heavily on understanding key distinctions between different types of visitors and duties owed. Property stakeholders have varying legal obligations based on whether someone is an invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Courts also consider whether the property or business owner took appropriate steps to warn visitors or remedy known risks. These fundamental differences shape how courts assess liability and determine the merits of a claim.

Property claims take many potential forms. Understanding these common scenarios can help you recognize when you might have a valid legal action.
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common property disputes. These can occur due to:
A customer who slips on a freshly mopped floor with no warning signs could have a strong property dispute against the business.
Property owners must provide reasonable security measures to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal activity. Inadequate security disputes might arise from:
For instance, property management may be liable if an apartment complex in a neighborhood with a history of break-ins fails to repair a broken security gate, leading to a tenant being assaulted.
Swimming pools, often called “attractive nuisances,” require special attention from property stakeholders. Common pool-related property litigation include:
For example, a homeowner who fails to fence their backyard pool properly could face a property dispute lawsuit if a neighbor child approaches the pool and is injured.
Malfunctioning elevators and escalators can cause serious harm. Commercial property owners are responsible for:
A shopper who suffers injuries due to a sudden escalator malfunction in a department store may have grounds for a premises liability claim.
Property owners must maintain safe parking facilities for customers, visitors and even trespassers. When they fail to address dangerous conditions, serious accidents can occur leading to premises liability law suits being filed with a personal injury attorney. Common hazards include deteriorating pavement, poor visibility after dark, confusing traffic patterns, and weather-related risks.
Consider a scenario where a customer sustains injuries after tripping on a significant pavement crack that the proprietor had previously identified but neglected to repair. This failure to maintain safe conditions could form the basis for valid legal action, as the owner knew about the hazard yet took no action to protect visitors.
