"Premises liability cases" describe a wide variety of cases—all of which result from the negligence of property owners. When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, the owner of the property may be responsible if their negligence led to the injury.

If you have been injured as the result of a dangerous condition on another's property (e.g., supermarkets, strip malls, sidewalks, hotels, etc.) you may be able to recover the costs of your medical bills, lost income, and be compensated for any pain, disfigurement, permanent handicap, or emotional distress you have suffered.

Injuries can include those from:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Dog bites or maulings
• Toxic mold exposure
• Asbestos exposure
• Lead exposure

If your case falls into any of the above categories, please feel free to continue onto other areas of our site for more specific information.

In premises liability cases, an injured victim must prove that the property owner either (1) did not maintain the property in a safe condition, (2) knew about a hazard on their property but did warn others using the property, (3) was not careful with respect to hazardous conditions that might attract children, or (4) ignored hazards that ultimately damaged neighboring property.

In these types of cases, it is important to find an experienced attorney early on after the injury occurs. The earlier an investigation can take place—and expert witnesses consulted—the stronger the foundation will be to prove that the property owner was responsible. It is also important to preserve evidence of the property's condition as owners sometimes make significant material changes to the property after an injury occurs on their property.
