Injured Due to Unsafe Property Conditions?
Property owners have a responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions, Dermer Law can help you seek justice and hold negligent property owners accountable.
Premises liability refers to a property owner’s legal duty to maintain safe conditions and address potential hazards. When property negligence leads to injuries, victims may face significant medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. At Dermer Law, we understand the profound impact these cases can have on your life and work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve. With our “Clients. Not Cases.” approach, we focus on your unique story and tailor our legal strategies to meet your needs.
Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Property negligence can take many forms. Here are some of the most common premises liability cases we handle:
Slip and Falls
Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly lit areas can cause slip-and-fall accidents that lead to serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, or spinal damage.
Inadequate Security
Property owners must provide adequate security measures, such as functioning locks, surveillance, or proper lighting. Failure to do so can result in preventable harm, including assault or theft.
Dangerous Conditions
Hazards like exposed wiring, unstable structures, or debris on walkways can pose significant risks to visitors, especially when they are not properly addressed or marked.
Dog Bites
Property owners may be held responsible for injuries caused by dangerous animals on their premises, especially if the owner failed to take appropriate precautions.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Negligence around swimming pools, such as lack of barriers, warning signs, or proper maintenance, can lead to life-threatening accidents and drowning incidents.
How We Prove Negligence in Premises Liability Cases
To establish liability in a premises negligence case, our experienced attorneys work diligently to prove the following:
Duty of Care
The property owner owed a duty of care to ensure the safety of visitors or tenants.
Breach of Duty
The property owner failed to address unsafe conditions or provide adequate warnings of potential hazards.
Causation
The breach of duty directly caused the victim’s injury.
Damages
The victim suffered measurable damages, including medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering, due to the injury.
