Premises Liability Accident Stats

Premises liability lawsuits, when the plaintiff was injured on the defendant’s property due to their negligence in exercising reasonable care for their entrants, are more common than people may think. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that in 2001, premises liability cases accounted for 11% of civil cases disposed of by trial. They also reported that each year about 4 billion dollars are awarded to compensate premises liability injury victims. Punitive damages, money awarded to the plaintiff in the event of gross negligence and extreme recklessness, were awarded in just 6% of premises liability cases. One accident that we are more familiar with, a slip and fall, was reported 234,450 times for nonfatal accidents and 789 fatal ones, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

According to reports by Jury Verdict Research, the median award for premises liability claims against owners or operators of industry property was the highest at 250 million dollars. The lowest median award was against residential property owners at 75 thousand dollars.
