  • What is premises liability?

    Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility property owners have to maintain safe conditions on their premises. If you are injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, such as a wet floor, broken stairs, or poor lighting, you may have a premises liability claim. It’s important to consult with an attorney to evaluate your situation and determine if you’re entitled to compensation.

  • What should I do if I’m injured on someone else’s property?

    If you’re injured on someone else’s property, seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos of the hazardous condition and gathering contact information from any witnesses. Report the incident to the property owner or manager as soon as possible. Then, contact an experienced premises liability attorney to discuss your legal options and protect your rights.

  • How do I prove a premises liability case?

    Proving a premises liability case requires demonstrating that the property owner or manager was negligent in maintaining safe conditions and that this negligence directly caused your injury. This may involve gathering evidence such as maintenance records, witness statements, and expert testimony. An experienced attorney can help you build a strong case by thoroughly investigating the circumstances of your injury.

  • What types of compensation can I receive from a premises liability claim?

    Compensation in a premises liability claim can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and costs related to ongoing care or rehabilitation. If your injury has long-term or permanent effects on your ability to work or enjoy life, we’ll seek compensation for those damages as well. Our goal is to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve to aid in your recovery.
