Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases can arise from various hazardous conditions on a property, including:

Slip and Fall Accidents

These occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to a hazardous condition such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or debris.

Negligent Security

Property owners have a duty to provide adequate security measures to protect visitors from foreseeable harm, such as assaults, robberies, or other criminal acts.

Unsafe Property Conditions

This includes dangerous conditions such as inadequate lighting, faulty staircases, broken handrails, or unrestrained pets.

Procedures in a Premises Liability Case

Consultation and Evaluation

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, it’s essential to consult with an experienced premises liability attorney.

During the initial consultation, your attorney will assess the details of your case and determine if you have grounds for a claim.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to gather evidence, such as photographs of the scene, witness statements, and documentation of your injuries. This evidence will be crucial in proving liability and securing compensation.

Filing a Lawsuit

If negotiations with the property owner’s insurance company are unsuccessful, your attorney may file a lawsuit on your behalf. This initiates the legal process of seeking compensation for your injuries and damages.

Discovery Phase

During this phase, both parties exchange relevant information and evidence related to the case. This may include depositions, expert witness testimony, and documentation of the property owner’s negligence.

Negotiation and Settlement

In many cases, premises liability claims are settled out of court through negotiation between the parties involved. Your attorney will work to negotiate a fair settlement that compensates you for your losses.

Trial

If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial. During the trial, both sides present their arguments and evidence to a judge and/or jury, who will ultimately decide the outcome of the case.
