We Fight For Justice & Compensation for Those Injured By Dangerous Conditions

Whether you have a claim for premises liability depends in part on if you had permission to be present on the property. Most often, plaintiffs in these cases fall into a legal category designating them an “invitee.”  For example, when a business is open to the public, customers who come to the store are invitees.

The owner of a store is required to maintain a reasonably safe premises that does not create or pose an unreasonable risk of harm to others.  The law also requires the owner to take reasonable steps to examine their property and investigate potentially dangerous conditions.  Too often when an accident occurs, it was preventable.  If the landowner knew or should have known about the danger and failed to take action to warn or otherwise prevent the dangerous condition, they may be liable.

A typical defense in these cases is that even though the dangerous condition existed, it was open and obvious to visitors.  However, what a landowner thinks is obvious might not be obvious to someone visiting the site for the first time.

Some premises liability cases have special requirements that must be met before you can bring a case.  For example, if the property is owned or controlled by a government entity, you may have to send notice to the government agency within a certain timeframe to preserve your ability to bring a claim.  If you have been injured on someone else’s property due to negligence, you should contact a lawyer quickly to make sure any notice requirements are met.
