Don't Rely on Out-of-Possession Status to Avoid Liability

If you don't maintain any control over your property, don't assume that fact will shield you from liability for an accident. It is uncommon for out-of-possession owners to win liability cases with this argument. For example, if you are aware of a dangerous condition or there is an incident of gross negligence at your property, it won't matter that you don't have much to do with day-to-day operations.
