All property owners, whether residential or commercial, bear the responsibility of ensuring safe environments for visitors. If you’ve suffered harm due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property—be it a sidewalk, personal residence, restaurant, mall, hotel, office building, school, park, theater, or museum—you may be eligible to file a premises liability claim and receive compensation for your injury. These “Slip and Fall” injuries often result from uneven or slippery surfaces, but they can also be caused by:
- crumbling stairs
- wet floors
- exposed electrical wiring
- raised flooring
- falling debris
- obstructed pathways
- poorly lit walkways
While premises liability law aims to protect those injured due to property owner negligence, proving liability can be challenging, especially if the owner has rectified the hazardous condition. To ensure your claim meets the necessary grounds, reach out to our experienced personal injury attorney. We have the resources and expertise to help you collect compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.
Our law firm will assess your injury, determining if the property owner failed to maintain the premises or provide adequate warnings about hazardous conditions. For a successful claim, it must be demonstrated that the property owner knew about the hazard and neglected to address it promptly, resulting in your fall.
Once liability is established, we’ll assist you in proving a direct causal link between the property hazard and your injury. Visitor status is also a crucial factor in filing a premises liability claim, reflecting the reason for your visit to the property. An invited guest’s claim may carry more weight, while a trespasser might struggle to obtain compensation. Our dedicated injury attorney consider all these elements, representing you vigorously so you can focus on recovering from your injury and restoring your health.
