Refers to any circumstances or hazards within a particular environment that pose a risk to the safety or well-being of individuals. In legal contexts, it often pertains to conditions on someone’s property that are not reasonably safe for visitors or occupants. These conditions could include anything from slippery floors and uneven walkways to inadequate lighting or malfunctioning equipment. Property owners or managers have a duty to identify and rectify unsafe conditions to prevent accidents and injuries, and failing to do so may result in liability under premises liability law.
