Premises liability refers to the liability of property owners and occupants (non-owner resident) for injuries caused on their property.
Common types of accidents in premises liability cases include:
- Slip and fall injury
- Negligent security
- Dog attacks
- Swimming pool accidents
- Inadequate maintenance
There are just a few of the types of issues that can arise because of an unsafe property. These accidents have the potential to lead to very serious injuries, such as a broken spinal cord, head injury, as well as scars and disfigurement. As a result, you may face extensive medical expenses and the necessity for lifestyle modifications and an inability to work.
What to Do if You Have Suffered a Serious Personal Injury
Suffering an injury on someone else’s property can leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, especially if the property owner or their attorneys are pressuring you to accept fault or a low settlement. This is particularly common in cases involving large corporations, such as hotel negligence. To protect your rights and secure fair compensation, you need an experienced premises liability lawyer by your side.
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises, but premises liability cases can be complex, involving factors like your legal visitor status and whether the injury was preventable.
