Premises Liability Law Firm
How Can a Premises Liability Attorney Help?
When you work with a premises liability lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP, they can handle all of the details of your claim from start to finish.
While some premises liability cases are simple and straightforward, others can be very complex. Proving liability can be challenging, especially if the property owner had time to make repairs to their property before an attorney could gather evidence at the scene.
A premises liability attorney on our legal team will investigate the accident to identify the liable party, prove liability, and provide the evidence needed to support your demand for compensation. By building the strongest case possible, your attorney can negotiate from a position of strength and fight for the fair compensation you deserve for your injuries and other damages.
If the insurance company fails to make a reasonable settlement offer, your attorney can file a premises liability lawsuit and represent you in court.
Type Of Premises Liability Accidents
A premises liability accident can come in many forms, including:
Slip and Falls
To receive compensation for injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident, you must prove that the property owner created the condition or should have known about the dangerous conditions but failed to take reasonable steps to correct the situation.
Defective Stairways
Stairways where the handrails are missing or damaged or the steps are broken, missing, or damaged can result in a devastating accident. Serious injuries could also result from a fall because the stairway lacked proper lighting.
Negligent Security
Lack of security on a residential or commercial property can result in robberies, sexual assault, or physical assault, which can cause physical and emotional trauma. If a lack of security results in you being injured you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.
Fire Safety and Building Code Violations
Building managers and owners must follow fire safety guidelines and building codes. These laws are in place to protect people who visit or live on a property.
Swimming Pool Accidents
A swimming pool accident on public or private property can result in a serious slip and fall or drowning, due to lack of supervision, security, or a failure to warn. Who should be held liable and why will depend on the unique circumstances surrounding the premises liability case.
Inadequate Lighting
Lack of proper lighting, whether on a stairway or in a parking lot can result in a serious trip and fall or slip and fall accident. Additionally, a lack of proper lighting can also lead to security issues, resulting in a robbery or an assault. A property owner can be held responsible for an accident and injuries that occur as a result of poor lighting.
Supermarket Accidents
One of the most common types of premises liability accidents occurs in a supermarket. Supermarkets must clean up spills promptly and warn customers about any existing hazards.
Sidewalk Trip and Falls
Cracked or raised sidewalks can cause a serious trip and fall accident. Depending on who is responsible for maintaining a sidewalk, you may be entitled to compensation from the negligent party for your injuries and other damages associated with the accident.
