Premises Liability
Were you recently injured while at a private, commercial or government liability or structure? If you believe that you were not at fault and the property owner’s negligence led to a slip, fall, debris falling or any other type of accident as a result of negligence on the owner’s behalf then you may be entitled to compensation. Any landlord/ property owner is required by law to periodically inspect the premises to ensure that the structure is in safe, working condition. If any part of the premise is found to be faulty or in need of repair, then it is the owner’s responsibility to identify the repairs and administer the repairs in a timely manner, if repairs cannot be made immediately then caution tape, cones and signs need to be established visibly marking the affected area so that people can easily identify that caution needs to be taken. For example, if there was a large spill on a sidewalk then the landowner needs to mark the spill area to alert others of the dangers. If you or a family member were injured as a result of a landowner’s negligence then you may be entitled to compensation. These types of cases can be difficult to prove in court, so setting up a consultation with the premises liability attorneys of Steven Brian Davis today ensures that you get the necessary information regarding these cases.
The owners of these structures cannot always be responsible for accidents that occur; many times the owners are responsible for a percentage of the accident, and cannot be held fully accountable for all sustained injuries. If a person slips and falls as a result of a stairs dilapidating nature, then the premise should be held accountable for the injuries, but if you trip as a result of tripping over ones shoes then the premise is not necessarily responsible. The premises liability attorneys will help walk you through the necessary steps and will help determine whether or not you have a case.
Injuries that fall under premises liability include (but are not limited to):
- Fires or explosions
- Slipping on neglected stairs
- Unmarked wet surfaces
- Dog bites
- Roof cave ins
These types of accidents can result in several different types of injuries like lacerations, hematomas, fractures, spinal cord injuries (insert spinal cord link here), brain injuries (inset TBI link here) and in some cases death. If you or a loved one were involved in an accident while on someone else’s premise, and believe that this accident was caused by the owners neglect then consult with the premises liability attorneys today.
