What is the most common premises liability claim?

Generally speaking, the most common premises liability claims involve slip and fall accidents. A slip and fall accident is a term used to describe what happens when someone slips, trips and falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property that results in an injury. The hazardous condition could be caused by water, ice, snow, poor lighting, a torn carpet or a cracked or uneven floor.

Who is responsible for the medical expenses if I am injured on someone else’s property?

Responsibility is determined by whether the owner of the property knew the hazardous condition existed and failed to do anything about it, or at least the owner should have know the hazardous condition existed and failed to correct it. An experienced attorney knowledgeable in premises liability claims should be consulted to protect your legal rights.

What kind of financial compensation can I expect from a premises liability claim?

A claim for financial compensation may make you eligible for payment for your medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, the loss of future earning potential, pain and suffering and other expenses you may have to incur in the future due to your injuries.
