About Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability covers various types of cases:
Here are a few examples of accidents or situations that would qualify as premises liability claims and enable a person to sue the property owner or proprietor for damages:
- You are walking across the marble floor of a department store when you suddenly slip and fall. You look up to see a custodian mopping the floor, but there is no caution sign present to warn customers of the danger.
- You are watching a movie at the theater when a ceiling tile falls onto your head, seriously injuring you.
- You are at an acquaintance’s house and their dog attacks and injures you.
- You are attacked in a parking lot because the manager of the facility was lax in hiring security personnel or implementing other measures that would have protected your safety.
- You are using the escalator at the mall when it suddenly malfunctions, causing you to lose your footing and fall.
- You become seriously ill due to exposure to lead paint at the apartment building where you and your family live.
Every premises liability claim is different, and therefore it is important to discuss your particular case and concerns with your lawyer. Depending on the circumstances of the event or events that caused your injuries, you may be able to hold the property owner and/or another party liable. A skilled lawyer will be able to determine not only who is accountable but what your claim is worth in order to maximize your ability to secure fair compensation. In addition to medical expenses and lost earnings, your settlement or award may also cover future medical care, loss of potential earnings and psychological trauma such as pain and suffering.
