Dangerous Premises

Property owners are responsible for keeping their property safe for guests or the public, whether the property is:

• A public park

• An apartment complex

• A local business, or

• A neighbor’s yard

When the owner fails to eliminate hazardous conditions, innocent guests and residents may pay the price, incurring injuries that could have been avoided.

The most serious injuries, and the most difficult and expensive to heal are:

• Brain

• Spinal cord

• Neck, and

• Burn injuries

Local and Federal premises liability laws are created to compensate injured victims when a property owner’s negligence causes injury. These laws also require owners to carry insurance for premises liability accidents.

Although the insurance companies will usually try to avoid paying large settlement amounts, an experienced premises liability attorney can evaluate the situation and help you obtain the full amount you may be entitled to.

We can draw on skilled investigators and medical experts who can carefully examine the environment in question and clarify the details of your injuries.

Examples of dangerous premises cases:

• Slip and fall accidents

• Swimming pool drownings

• Balcony injuries

• Assault or rape due to negligent security

• Elevator accidents

• Stairway accidents

• Falls due to poor lighting

• Injuries due to falling merchandise in stores

• Sickness due to toxic mold
