Alford v. Kress

Alford v. Kress was a legal case where the court addressed whether a defendant can be held liable for injuries caused by dangerous conditions on their property. The court emphasized the importance of proving negligence or failure to maintain safe premises to establish liability. Essentially, it clarified that property owners are not automatically responsible for accidents unless they were negligent in allowing hazardous conditions to exist or persist. The case underscores the necessity for plaintiffs to demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known about the danger and failed to address it.
