Property owners in Ohio are responsible for maintaining a safe environment on their premises for visitors, guests, customers, and tenants. However, if an individual suffers a serious injury or is killed because of a hazardous condition on the property, then the owner or manager is liable for a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. In order to successfully recover damages from a premises liability claim, it is imperative to obtain legal services from a qualified attorney.
