What does a premises liability attorney do? And how can they help someone injured in a slip and fall accident at a grocery store, or injured by a dangerous condition on public property?

We are glad you asked. The personal injury attorneys at our premises liability law firm have prepared the following information to answer the questions most commonly asked by those after suffering a premises liability accident.

First of all, premises liability claims are common legal actions, usually including the claim of some form of personal injury by the plaintiff. Typically the claims are defended vigorously by both the property owner and the responsible insurance company. That is why you need an experienced premises liability attorney.

Personal injury claims can get very complicated when all facts of the case are considered, as each fact can carry significant weight in determining liability.

Types of Cases Our Premises Liability Lawyers Handle:

A premises liability lawyer handles a wide range of personal injury cases, where a serious injury resulted from a property owner or store owner ignored their legal duty to provide a safe environment for patrons. Therefore, a valid premises liability claim is often found in the following types of cases:

• Slip & Fall Accidents or Trip & Falls
• Swimming Pool Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Retail Store Accidents
• Playground Accidents
• Trampoline Accidents
• Dangerous Conditions of Public Property Accidents
• Negligent Security
• Poor lighting

If you are injured in an accident on someone else’s property, you may have a claim against the property owner’s premises liability policy.

Premises liability holds the business owners and tenants liable for accidents that could have been prevented on their property. Failure to maintain the safety of a property that ultimately results in injury is a very serious offense.

The negligence of a property owner can result in serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and various other catastrophic injuries that lead to high medical expenses and medical bills. The following are some more details about premises liability cases.

Duty of Care

Property owners who keep their property in a good state of repair can often present evidence of this fact. While all property owners do have a general duty of care towards visitors or even residents on their property, those with good records and reasonable presentation of proper upkeep can defend negligence claims concerning maintenance.

Negligence is usually an issue that an experienced attorney will attempt to address because it is not sufficient to win the case based on the fact that an injury occurred. There must always be an element of negligence on the part of the property owner stemming from a valid duty of care.

Negligence

While negligence on the part of the respondent is necessary, the court will be specifically concerned about the level of that particular neglect. If there is an insurance company involved, this will be a primary argument point for them as well.

The problems for the plaintiff at this stage will be the percentage of comparative negligence that the defendants can successfully argue to the court. Insurance company adjusters are professional negotiators that understand what factors can impact the total value of a personal injury claim, even when the claim is valid.

When it is apparent that a settlement will be necessary, the next component of defense becomes shifting blame onto the plaintiff. Having an experienced premises liability attorney means you will have a professional negotiator as well who understands how to contest the claims of the responsible parties. The lower your personal comparative negligence percentage, the more value your claim will have regarding financial damages.
