Premises Liability
A premises liability accident may result from a failure to care for a property, a building code violation,
or improper security. Premises liability cases are predicated on a reasonable expectation that visited
premises are safe. If a person slips and falls, or trips and suffers an injury because of a dangerous or
hazardous condition, the property owner may be fully responsible. Factors affecting premises liability
include:
If the owner of the premises or an employee caused the dangerous condition.
If the owner of the premises or an employee knew
about a dangerous condition but did nothing about it.
If the injured party was invited to the premises
or simply visited a location open for business.
If the injured party acted reasonably prior to the injury.
Premises liability cases can
be complicated due to proving the above factors; therefore, it is in your best interest to seek help from an experienced personal
injury attorney as soon as possible if you've been injured as a result of another party's failure to maintain safe and clean
premises.
Dog Bites
Dog bites are one of the most commonly reported
injuries in the United States. In addition to direct injuries, dog bites can result in a victim’s
exposure to disease and lead to infections or even death. Often, a dog owner is responsible for dog bite
injuries.
Negligent Security
Places of business, such as retail stores, parking garages, and professional offices, are obligated to maintain effective
security in order to create and maintain a safe environment for people to visit. Negligent security contributes
to theft, violent crimes, property damage, and other dangers.
