Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for lawful visitors. When they fail to repair dangerous conditions or warn visitors about known hazards, serious injuries can occur. Minton Law Firm investigates these cases thoroughly, preserves critical evidence, and pursues the compensation injured victims deserve.
Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible when unsafe property conditions cause injuries. While every accident is different, these claims generally arise because a dangerous condition existed on the property and the owner knew—or reasonably should have known—about the hazard but failed to correct it or provide an adequate warning.
Premises liability claims can involve:
According to the CDC, falls remain one of the leading causes of injury-related emergency department visits in the United States, and unintentional injuries account for millions of emergency room visits every year.

Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be less than 50% responsible for your accident, you may still recover compensation, although your recovery will generally be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In most cases, Arkansas law also gives injured victims three years from the date of the accident to file a premises liability lawsuit. Waiting too long may prevent you from pursuing compensation.
