Premises Liability

Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don't — a wet floor with no warning, broken stairs, poor lighting — and someone gets hurt, that failure can be the basis of a claim.

Common causes

• •Wet or uneven floors without warning signage
• •Poorly maintained stairs, railings, or walkways
• •Inadequate lighting or security in parking areas

What to expect

1. 1A free review of what happened and whether the property owner was on notice of the hazard
2. 2We document the scene and preserve evidence before it disappears
3. 3We build the case for what the property owner knew, or should have known
