Generally, workplace injuries are compensated through a workers’ compensation claim. However, there are some exceptions and premises liability is one of the areas where exceptions exist. The property owner is responsible for ensuring that the property is free from hazards, whether the property owner is your employer or is someone who is having work performed on his or her property.

The property owner is responsible for injuries caused by hazards he or she knew about or should have known about to an individual on the property working as a business guest.
