Premises Liabilities
Premises liability refers to the duties and responsibilities of property owners to keep their property and equipment safe. The most common type of injury that happens on another’s property involves a fall. While most falls result in nothing more than minor bruises, many of them can result in serious and even catastrophic injuries. The Centers for Disease Control reports that slip and fall accidents are the cause of 35.2% of all traumatic brain injury cases in our country every year, as well as 46% of all spinal cord injuries, which may leave the victim paralyzed and incapable of earning an income
If you or a loved one have suffered injuries on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to
recover compensation against the owner of the property. Under premises liability law, property owners must comply with building/safety codes and have a duty to properly maintain their properties. If you fall or are hurt on another’s property don’t assume that it was your fault. Many accidents are caused by unsafe conditions of the property such as uneven walking surfaces, defective equipment, or slippery surfaces. For example, if a foreign substance is found in an area where it should not normally be, it is the responsibility of the business or owner to remove it or at least customers about the potential hazard.
MeyerJensen PC will examine your medical records, injury reports, company manuals/procedures and all other relevant documentation when developing your case. Through extensive discovery of records and deposition testimony we will not only determine who should be held responsible, but we will also prove the cause of your accident. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing people who have been on another’s property due to:
- Falls from slippery or uneven surfaces
- Falls from stairways
- Dangerous conditions
- Defective or inadequately maintained equipment
- Chemical exposure
- Assault and Battery
- Dog/animal attack
Injuries that occur on another’s property are often due to poor construction, maintenance failures, inadequate security measures, negligent supervision of employees, failure to warn and inadequate lighting.
