To succeed, we demonstrate: ✦ A dangerous condition existed ✦ The owner knew or should have known about the hazard ✦ The owner failed to correct or warn about the danger ✦ The hazard directly caused your injury Our team meticulously collects evidence and builds a compelling claim on your behalf.
Premises liability refers to injuries that occur because a property owner or occupier failed to keep their property reasonably safe. This can include unsafe conditions such as wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven walkways, or inadequate security. Property owners have a legal duty to address hazards or warn visitors of known dangers.
Common premises liability claims include slip and falls, falling objects, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, elevator or escalator injuries, negligent security incidents, and injuries caused by unsafe building conditions. These accidents can occur in places like stores, apartments, hotels, parking lots, or private homes.
Premises liability claims are often covered by insurance policies carried by the property owner or occupant. Depending on where and how the injury occurred, coverage may come from homeowner’s insurance, commercial general liability (business) insurance, renter’s insurance, or an umbrella/excess liability policy that provides additional coverage beyond standard limits. Identifying all available insurance policies is a critical step in maximizing recovery and often requires a thorough investigation by an experienced attorney.
