Louisiana Premises Liability

When someone is injured in a building or on land, the owner or person who controls the premises may be liable for the injuries. A key question to ask is whether the owner or person who controls the premises could have done something differently that would have prevented the injury.

Generally, to prevail on a premises liability case under Louisiana Civil Code Articles 2317, 2322 and/or 660, the plaintiff must prove the owner or occupier of the land owed the plaintiff a duty to exercise reasonable care, defendant breached that duty through action or inaction, defendant's breach is both the factual and legal cause of plaintiff's injuries and that plaintiff suffered an injury.
