Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for guests and visitors. When they fail to maintain a safe environment—or ignore hazards—they put people at risk of serious injury. We hold negligent property owners, businesses, and landlords accountable when unsafe conditions cause harm.

​

​What is a Premises Negligence case?

​

Premises liability law covers injuries that happen on someone else’s property due to unsafe or defective conditions. In addition to “slip and falls," they can involve a wide range of hazards, from broken stairways to negligent or inadequate security. If a property owner knew or should have known about a danger and failed to fix it or warn visitors, they can be held legally responsible.

​

Some Examples of Premises Liability cases include:

​

  • Dangerous walking surfaces (wet floors, uneven pavement, loose carpeting)

  • Untrained staff that fail to prevent or respond appropriately

  • Poor lighting in stairways or parking areas

  • Broken or missing handrails

  • Unsafe escalators or elevators

  • Falling objects from shelves or structures

  • Inadequate security leading to assaults or attacks

  • Building code violations

  • Unsafe swimming pools or recreational areas

​

​Insurance companies and property owners often try to shift blame onto the injured person. We know how to respond to these arguments and will fight for the accountability you deserve.
