PREMISES LIABILITY LITIGATION
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibilities owed by property owners and occupiers to persons on their property. Some of the most common premises liability cases involve a person falling because they tripped or slipped on an icy sidewalk, loose or uneven stairs, or because of debris or liquid on the floor. In some states, the law focuses on the status of the injured person to determine the legal responsibility of the property owner or occupier while the law of other states requires only a reasonable care standard to be satisfied by the property owner or occupier.

Our services are available to defendants who seek to limit their premises liability and to plaintiffs who seek to recover damages for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical bills.
What to Do if You Are Injured
You may have a valid premises liability claim if you were injured at a commercial establishment such as a grocery store, at a workplace or at a private residence. The key to obtaining a successful result in your case is to collect as much evidence as possible, which details the conditions at the property.
Demonstrating negligence on the part of the property owner (that is, the property owner’s failure to maintain the property free of hazardous/dangerous conditions) is also a key component of the litigation process. Because of this, it is extremely important for you to take photographs of the condition that caused your injury and of the location where you were injured. We also recommend writing down exactly what happened soon thereafter so you can avoid giving conflicting statements that may jeopardize your case.
Moving Forward With a Premises Liability Case
If you’ve been injured by an unsafe condition, it’s important to remember that the purpose of legal action is to obtain compensation that makes you “whole” – compensation that places you in the position you were prior to the injury. Such compensation monies may include lost wages, lost earning potential and any medical expenses — including hospital fees, pain and suffering, prescription medicines, and other costs related to your ongoing rehabilitation.
