If you’re injured on someone else’s property in Indiana—whether from a slippery parking lot, crumbling stairs, or another unsafe condition—you may have a premises liability claim. Under Indiana law, property owners and businesses owe invitees, such as customers and guests, a duty to keep their property reasonably safe. This means taking ongoing steps to monitor and address hazards, not just addressing them once and ignoring future risks. A key factor in these cases is whether the property owner knew or should have known about the danger. Even if they didn’t see the hazard, they may still be liable if reasonable inspections would have revealed it. Indiana’s comparative fault system also means that even if you were partially at fault, you could still recover compensation as long as you’re not more than 50% responsible for your own injury.
