Premises Liability Law serves to protect individuals from injury or harm in a determined location such as supermarkets, shopping malls, parking lots, restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, or any private residences or public businesses. In the event of an accident which results in injury or harm to an individual upon a determined place, negligence on behalf of the business owner or operator must be determined by an investigation, for which police and eyewitness reports are fundamental.

First and foremost, the person that falls victim to such an act must have a professional healthcare practitioner evaluate the extent of any injuries incurred, in this case, burns. Burns, depending on their degree, can be quite dangerous if not treated properly. Minor burns heal quickly and may perhaps leave no scars. Sadly, more severe burns may require medication, treatment, and may leave scars, which are considered permanent injuries. Permanent injuries weigh heavily in compensation claims brought against insurance providers. An customer that has suffered a burn as a result of accident such as this, is liable to compensation by the food establishment and/or insurance provider. The insurance should provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and damages.

A broken toe, just like any other bone, is considered a permanent injury despite the normal healing process. A broken toe, which might not hurt after healed, may present signs of pain and discomfort later in life. Victims of broken bones usually suffer pain or discomfort upon entering old age. Hence, victims of broken bones need to evaluate how, where and when an accident that led to a broken bone took place. If the hotel swimming pool or operator can be determined to be at fault, then an experienced attorney at the Perazzo Law firm can file a Premises Liability claim for compensation from the hotel's insurance provider.

Furthermore, there must be proper lighting so that individuals can see well when walking in the parking lot at night. Parking lots must also have proper surveillance to prevent or deter criminal activity, either during the day or in the evening.
