If you control a building, land, or any premises, you have a basic legal duty to keep people who enter reasonably safe from harm. This area of law is called “occupier’s liability.” It comes from tort law (civil wrongs) and specific statutes. It decides when the person in control of a place can be held responsible if someone gets injured or suffers loss there.<\/p>
