Common Reasons For Premises Liability Lawsuits
Many unsafe property conditions indicative of negligent maintenance provide grounds for premises liability insurance claims and personal injury lawsuits. Our premises liability lawyer, attorney McClellan, is ready to assertively represent those hurt by unsafe properties.
The premises liability cases he takes include:
- Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents: Accidents caused by wet floors, ignored spills, tripping hazards, poor lighting or uneven surfaces
- Dog bites and other animal attacks: Injuries caused by negligent owners failing to train or restrain their animals
- Negligent security: Criminal acts caused by inadequate lighting, a lack of security personnel or facilities too accessible to those with criminal intent
- Swimming pool accidents: Injuries or worse caused by improper maintenance, a lack of fencing, uneven/wet surfaces or inadequate signage
- Construction site accidents: Incidents affecting nonworkers, such as falling objects or accessible but unmarked trenches
- Falls from heights: Accidents caused by unprotected edges, slippery surfaces or access to unsafe locations
If property owners or businesses could have prevented your injuries, they may be liable for your losses.
How Premises Liability Plaintiffs Prove Negligence
Proving that negligence caused your injuries at a business or private property is necessary to take legal action. You generally need evidence that the owner or business manager knew or should have known about safety issues and failed to address them.
You must show that they breached their duty of care and that the breach caused damages because you got hurt. Showing that the dangerous facilities caused your injury and that those injuries caused losses gives you the right to pursue damages, although you likely need a premises liability lawyer to make a compelling case.
