Going outside to complete errands, like buying clothing, shopping for groceries, and returning unwanted items, is essential to many of our lives. Visiting other people’s properties, including store locations owned by large companies and corporations, is meant to be a safe experience. While you may not enjoy these necessary tasks, you don’t typically fear for your life or safety in these locations. But if you get hurt outside of one of these spaces, can you hold anyone liable for your injuries and losses?
Depending on the circumstances, stores own or rent the space immediately outside their building. These companies may hold liability for parking lots, merchandise outside, or storage. Even if someone else owns the space outside the store, there’s still likely a party responsible. To take legal action against the liable parties, retain an attorney from Hollis Law Firm and receive valuable support. We can help determine who is responsible, hold them accountable for your losses, and deliver outstanding compensation during your time of need.

Who Is Liable for Injuries Received Outside a Store?
Who holds liability for your injuries will depend on who owns the property. However, there may also be circumstances where another visitor is responsible for creating an unsafe environment that puts you in danger.
If you slip and fall outside a store, you may still be on store property. This might mean you can collect compensation and hold the store or company liable for your losses. When another individual owns the property, you might take legal action against this other party. Property ownership is essential because premises owners or renters are generally responsible for the safety and upkeep of their land.
If another person created an unsafe environment, such as spilling a drink and failing to notify the proper personnel about potential dangers, a non-owner could be responsible. Owners and renters are responsible for quickly addressing safety concerns but may not be liable for obstacles they do not create.
