Is a Premises Liability Attorney Really Necessary for My Case?

Property owners and their insurers frequently argue that the hazard was open and obvious, that the injured visitor was at fault, or that there is insufficient evidence showing the owner had notice of the dangerous condition.

An experienced premises liability attorney can help by:

Investigating the accident and preserving important evidence
Obtaining surveillance footage, maintenance records, and incident reports
Identifying prior complaints or similar incidents at the same location
Establishing what the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
Countering allegations that the injured visitor was careless or assumed the risk
Demonstrating that the property owner failed to meet the applicable standard of care
Negotiating with insurance companies and preparing the case for trial if necessary

This type of preparation is often critical to overcoming common defenses and securing a fair settlement.

Premises Liability Claims Take Many Forms

Dangerous property conditions can give rise to many different types of injury claims. While slips and falls are among the most common, they are far from the only accidents that can occur when property owners fail to keep their premises reasonably safe.

Common premises liability claims include:

Slip, fall, and trip and fall accidents
Injuries caused by falling merchandise or other objects
Stairway, walkway, and handrail accidents
Negligent security claims involving assaults and criminal acts
Elevator and escalator accidents
Swimming pool and drowning incidents
Dog bites and animal attacks
Fire, smoke, and electrical hazard injuries
Structural failures and other dangerous property conditions

Moreover, these accidents can occur at almost any type of residential, commercial, or public. However, they are almost always preventable through reasonable safety precautions.

What Damages Are Recoverable in Premises Liability Claims?

If you were injured because of a dangerous property condition, you may be entitled to compensation for both your financial losses and the impact the injury has had on your daily life.

Examples of damages you can recover include:

Medical expenses and hospitalization costs
Future medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses
Lost wages during your recovery
Reduced earning capacity caused by permanent limitations
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress/mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement

In many cases, a premises liability claim is not pursued directly against the property owner. Instead, a property insurance company is often the primary defendant in most claims.
