Premises Liability

Premises liability is an area of law that holds a property owner responsible for any injuries sustained by other people on their premises. Often times, premises liability cases involve "slip and fall" claims.

You may be able to file a premises liability claim if you injure yourself by slipping and falling on another person's property. Slip and falls can occur when a property owner negligently allows an unexpectedly wet or uneven surface. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain their property and prevent visitors from slipping on wet or uneven obstacles like spilled liquids or unmarked holes.

Although a slip and fall may not seem like a serious event, it can leave you in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the law has many rules and regulations concerning premises liability. An experienced premises liability lawyer will help you file your slip and fall premises liability claim.

Premises liability can also occur in the workplace, especially if there is construction being performed on the property. If you have been injured from a slip and fall while at work, you may be able to recover compensation.

A slip and fall can cause you to suffer many economic and non-economic losses, including:

• Pain and Suffering
• Mental Anguish
• Lost Wages
• Medical Bills
• Permanent Disability
• Future Medical Bills
• Prescription Costs
• Lost Benefits

If you have been the victim of a slip and fall injury, and you believe that the property owner should be held accountable for premises liability, contact an experienced premises liability lawyer.

A premises liability lawyer will be able to inform you of all the rules and regulations regarding premises liability, including the statute of limitations on premises liability, who should be held liable for your injuries, and if the property owner's negligence is in fact responsible for your injuries.
