Premises Liability
Property owners and managers, whether for private or commercial properties, have a duty to maintain the property as a safe place. When this duty is not met, injuries occur, and our attorneys stand ready to help those who have been hurt.
Private and Public Places
Premises liability claims stem from accidents occurring in both public and private places, including:
- Supermarkets
- Private residences
- Retail stores
- Restaurants, bars, nightclubs
- Shopping malls
- Hotels and motels
- Parking lots, parking garages and ramps
- Amusement parks
- Stadiums
Many Types of Injuries
Premises liability cases involve any type of injury that has occurred on the property of another individual or corporate entity. The injury may be due to messy conditions on the property, or to inadequate security, or to an attacking pet or other animal, or a variety of other things. The more common types of premises liability are as follows, but this list is by no means exhaustive:
- Falling object
- Fires
- Slip and fall
- Dog bites
- Sexual assault due to inadequate security
Compensation for Losses
Our attorneys work with expert witnesses such as safety engineers, industrial hygienists, architects, and property management experts to identify and prove the cause of the injury. When causation has been proved, the appropriate monetary compensation for the victim's losses due to the injury can be determined. These losses, common to many types of personal injury cases, may include:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Embarrassment
- Permanent disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
