What Does it mean to Be Negligent

To be negligent means that the property owner failed to maintain or keep the property safe in one form or another For instance, if the property owner did not inspect potential hazards or maintain the grounds of the building resulting in unsafe conditions, they would be negligent. Also if the owner already know about the unsafe conditions and did not act in an appropriate amount of time to remedy the situation, then they would be negligent. There are other factors involved when it comes to being negligent, but these are the main factors.

Injuries can also occur outside a business such as a parking lot or parking garage or walkway. If the owner fails to properly maintain the property and there is a clear and present danger such as ice, insufficient lighting or broken asphalt, they are all grounds for negligence.
