When property owners fail to maintain their properties in a safe condition, the result can be serious injury or even wrongful death. Our premises liability law firm has a history of helping our clients to understand their rights and to receive the compensation they need to recover from injuries caused by a property owner’s negligence.
Types of Premises Liability Claims:
Slip and Fall Accidents
Debris left in a hallway, a slippery substance on a restaurant or grocery floor, or an uneven city sidewalk could cause someone to slip or trip and fall. It is the property owner’s responsibility to assure premises are safe for normal use.
Negligent Security
A broken lock, non-working door buzzers or a failure to check passes can lead to dangerous situations.
Elevator Accidents
When an elevator is improperly installed or maintained, it can lead to serious injuries from sudden drops or jammed doors. It is the property owner’s responsibility to maintain safe elevators.
Lead Poisoning
Many people believe that because lead paint has been outlawed for household use for many years that it is no longer a problem, however, that is simply not true. The older paint gets, the more likely it is to chip or peel, and those paint chips and the dust they create are very dangerous.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining their property in a safe condition so people using the property can do so without fear of injury. Property owners who rent apartments or office space are still responsible for keeping common areas of the building well lit, clean, secure and safe.
