Premises Liability
Premises Liability encompasses claims involving personal injury
while on someone else's property. If you suffer injury
while on property owned by someone other than you, the property
owner may be liable for your injuries.
No matter whom the property owner is, whether it be a privately owned home, one of your neighbors or a publicly owned shopping center, it is their responsibility to keep their property properly maintained and safe for others.
Liability claims come into play when property owners fail to provide a safe and secure place for visitors or fail to warn of defects or hazardous conditions that they knew or should have known about. Therefore, it is important to prove that the property owner or property manager was negligent by failing to keep their property free of hazards or to provide sufficient security to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal activity.
After a thorough evaluation of your case and analysis of the facts and circumstances, we will be able to determine the damages to which you are entitled. Through a premises liability case you may be able to recover medical costs, past and future lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and for any other losses sustained.
Premises liability includes but is not limited to:
- Slip and fall injuries
- Elevator accidents
- Escalator accidents
- Bus accidents and other injuries on public transportation
- Railroad crossing accidents
