Premises Liability
Were you injured on someone else’s property?
People who have been welcomed onto a premise have a reasonable expectation that they will be safe from harm while they are there. When you get hurt on someone else’s property as a result of improper maintenance, negligent supervision, or inadequate security—the property owner or agent may be liable for your injuries.
Premises liability claims can include accidents due to:
-
Slipping-and-falling
-
Building structure defects
-
‘Rotten’ floors
-
Inadequate guard-rails
-
Falling items
-
Electric shock
-
Landscape hazards
-
Unsafe swimming pools
-
Criminal assaults
-
Animal attacks
A consideration in your case will be that the property owner or agent knew or should have known that an unsafe condition existed on the premises, and that they failed to take proper steps to remedy the situation. Thorough investigation and documentation plays an important role in helping you present your strongest case. A photograph really is worth a 1,000 words.
