Premises Liability

Premises liability content, built on the same severity signals as every other category

Slip-and-fall and other premises incidents are tracked as their own type across your configured news sources.

Premises liability incidents (incident_type: premises) don't currently carry a dedicated type bonus in the scoring model — unlike truck, DUI, wrongful death, product recall, nursing home, or workplace incidents — but they're scored on the same base severity signals as everything else: fatality, critical injury, multiple victims, and whether the incident occurred in your firm's state.

In practice this means premises incidents need a real severity signal (an injury serious enough to be reported as critical, or worse) to clear the default 60-point threshold — which filters out routine, low-severity slip-and-fall mentions and surfaces the cases actually worth writing about.

How this is scored

No dedicated type bonus currently applies to premises incidents — scored on fatality (+50), critical injury (+20), multiple victims (+15), and state match (+25) like any other category.

Where it's sourced from

Local TV and newspaper RSS feeds for your state.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't premises liability get a type bonus like truck or DUI incidents?
The current scoring model applies dedicated type bonuses to five categories (truck, wrongful death, product recall, nursing home, workplace); premises liability is scored on the shared severity signals instead. You can still manually generate an article for any premises incident regardless of its score from the Incidents page.
What counts as a premises liability incident in the system?
Incidents classified from source articles describing injuries occurring on someone else's property — slip-and-falls, inadequate security, negligent maintenance — where the discovery engine's keyword matching identifies premises-related language rather than a vehicle collision.
