Premises Liability

Premises liability includes all manner of accident or other injury occurring on owned or leased property. Claims or lawsuits arising from premises liability range from straightforward trip-and-fall accidents causing soft tissue injuries to wrongful death resulting from a shooting. Since New Mexico is a pure comparative fault state, even accidents that appear to be completely the fault of the injured person or a third party often result in claims or lawsuits against the owner or lessee of the premises.
