What Is a Premises Liability Case?

A premises liability case occurs when someone is injured due to unsafe or dangerous conditions on a property that the owner or manager failed to properly maintain or address.
Common examples include:
-Slip and fall accidents caused by wet, slick, or uneven floors
-Trip and fall accidents due to poor lighting or damaged walkways
-Negligent security leading to assaults or robberies
-Dog bites or other animal attacks on private property
-Unsafe stairways, elevators, or railings
-Falling merchandise or debris in stores
-Dangerous conditions, such as inadequate security at apartment complexes
-Overserving alcohol at bars or restaurants (Dram Shop cases)

If a hazardous condition caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Proving Negligence in a Premises Liability Case

To succeed in a premises liability claim, our firm must prove that:

-The property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition.
-They failed to fix it or provide adequate warnings.
-That negligence directly caused your injuries.

We gather evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, witness statements, and expert testimony to prove fault and maximize your recovery.
