New Mexico property owners have a legal
duty to anyone who is injured on their property.
That duty will be higher for those invited
to visit (e.g., customers) as opposed to
those who are not (i.e., trespassers). When
either a defective design on the property
or its faulty upkeep causes someone to be
injured, then all those responsible for
that property may be liable for that harm.
Those legally responsible for the injury
can include owners and managers of hotels,
motels, school dorms, concert halls, grocery
stores, amusement parks, churches, airports,
or even someone's apartment. If their
failure to provide adequate security unfortunately
results in someone's rape, assault, or
murder, then this same law of premises
liability makes them legally accountable
for it.
Premises liability claims include:
- injuries from falling merchandise
- slip and fall or trip and fall injuries
- injuries from unsafe elevators or
escalators
- injuries from providing inadequate
or improper security
If you or a loved one has been injured
on another's property, then you may have
legal remedies to assert. Legal damages
may include medical expenses, long-term
medical care and rehabilitation, lost
wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
