Premise Liability

Property owners, business establishments, and homeowners have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for individuals who are lawfully on their premises. If you are injured because a property owner has failed to correct or warn against a dangerous condition you may be entitled to compensation for any injuries which result.

Premise liability cases may involve any type of dangerous physical or environmental condition which causes injury. This would include conditions which cause falls, such as broken steps or slippery floors, as well as criminal activity on the property. You should try to obtain photographs of the condition which caused your injury if possible. Businesses usually try to fix the condition which caused a fall after the fact, in order to prevent further falls, but also to cover their tracks so it’s more difficult to prove your claim. With regard to criminal assaults, we investigate prior reports to the police of criminal activity on the property to prove notice by the owner of problems and the need for increased security. Often times we discover that the owner was aware of numerous prior violent crimes on their property and nothing was done in response.
