Issues relating to tort liability for injuries on adjacent premises
Article Abstract:
Property owners and occupiers should guard against lawsuits filed by persons injured on premises adjacent to their own due to plaintiffs' claims accepted by some courts that such property holders owe other persons a duty of care. Exceptions to the general rule of nonliability for dangerous conditions existent on adjacent properties are emerging and should be clearly defined by the judiciary. Property holders should remedy hazardous conditions which they discover.
