Premise Liability

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe and free from hazards for visitors. When a property owner fails in that duty, he or she can be found negligent under premises liability law.

Most people associate slip and fall cases with premises liability claims, but other common hazards exist as well. Inadequate lighting or lack of security can lead to an unsafe condition where a visitor may fall victim to crime. Hazardous objects may be left behind by workers to be picked up by children. The property owner may fail to warn visitors about a potential danger like a low doorway or step down.

Most people are not comfortable speaking directly with business owners about premises liability cases. Dealing with the insurance company can be difficult, frustrating and confusing. How will you know you are getting the best settlement? Unless you have a qualified attorney at your side, you will not know if you are getting fair treatment from the insurance company or business owner.
