Premise Liability Claims
What is a Premise Liability Accident?
A premises liability accident occurs when someone is injured because of an unsafe or dangerous condition on another person’s property. These accidents can involve unsafe walkways, inadequate security, poor lighting, defective stairs, or other hazards at hotels, casinos, stores, apartment complexes, and other properties. Determining responsibility can be complicated and often depends on who controlled the property, what caused the injury, and what the responsible parties knew or reasonably should have known about the dangerous condition.
The Courtroom Couple investigates these factors, preserves important evidence, and works to determine whether a property owner, operator, manager, contractor, or another party may be responsible for your injuries.
What Types of Accidents Can Lead to a Premises Liability Claim?
Premises liability involves more than slip-and-fall accidents. Unsafe conditions, inadequate maintenance, or failures to reasonably protect visitors can result in serious injuries in many different ways.
- Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Wet floors, uneven surfaces, damaged flooring, and other hazards can cause serious falls. - Negligent Security
Inadequate security measures may contribute to assaults or other preventable incidents. - Unsafe Stairs & Walkways
Broken stairs, missing handrails, poor lighting, and damaged walkways can create dangerous conditions. - Hotel & Casino Injuries
Guests may encounter unsafe conditions in rooms, common areas, pools, walkways, and other areas of a property. - Falling Objects
Improperly stored or secured merchandise and equipment can cause serious injuries. - Poor Property Maintenance
Unaddressed repairs, damaged property, and other maintenance issues may put visitors at risk.
What Should You Do After an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
Dangerous property conditions can change quickly after an accident. The Courtroom Couple works to identify and preserve evidence that may help establish what happened and who may be responsible.
Document the Scene
Photos and video can capture dangerous conditions before they are cleaned, repaired, or removed.
Identify Witnesses
Witnesses may provide important information about the accident or how long a dangerous condition existed.
Preserve Records
Incident reports, surveillance footage, inspection records, maintenance records, and other documentation may help establish responsibility.
Document Your Injuries
Medical records, expenses, lost wages, and other documentation can help demonstrate how the injury has affected your life.
