Accidents and Premises Liability
Sometimes malls own or maintain the roads surrounding its plaza, and therefore have a duty to maintain those areas as safely as possible. This means keeping the areas free of hazards or conditions that could cause harm. This also includes preventing a state of disrepair on the roads, gates, walls, or any other areas in the mall’s ownership or control. Failure to do this could lead to a condition that harms individuals on the property, which results in a premises liability case.
Even if the harm occurs to an individual on a road outside the mall that is not owned or maintained by the mall, but there was some condition in the parking lot that caused a vehicle to create a dangerous situation harming others on a public roadway, the mall could still be liable. This is because if a defective gate, upon exiting a parking lot, damages a car causing it to spin out into the roadway and thereby hitting another vehicle, it is the mall’s fault.
