A premises liability claim is a chance for an injured property visitor to seek financial reimbursement for losses associated with an accident. It requires clear and convincing evidence that proves that the property owner was negligent with at least a 51 percent likelihood. Negligence means that the property owner committed an act or omission that a reasonably prudent owner would not have in the same or similar circumstances.

If the property owner is found liable for your injuries in a premises liability lawsuit, you may successfully recover damages for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Accidents caused by unsafe properties are capable of causing a number of serious injuries, including brain injuries, broken bones, internal trauma, and soft tissue wounds. If you suffer serious harm, damages may include loss of earning capacity, estimated future medical expenses, and physical impairment.
At the Doan Law Firm, we take on cases on a contingency fee basis. You do not pay our law firm for legal representation unless and until we secure a favorable settlement or judgement on your behalf. If we win your case, your lawyer will receive an agreed-upon percentage of the final settlement awarded by the court. Under most circumstances, your lawyer will cover any costs they feel are necessary to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
The contingency fee’s exact percentage will be mutually agreed upon before you retain the services of a law firm. Our attorneys believe in the importance of complete transparency when it comes to pricing and will always explain the precise percentage we charge before we begin working on your case. When a favorable settlement or judgment is reached, the contingency fee will be deducted directly from that amount, meaning that you will never need to pay our firm out-of-pocket for services received.
We know firsthand that experiencing a premises liability accident can be an incredibly stressful experience. To help you deal with the aftermath of your accident, we put the following steps together for you to follow:
