Premises Liability / Slip & Fall

Owners and occupiers of land and buildings owe a duty to their patrons and those visiting their premises to have reasonably safe premises and not expose their patrons to unjustified risk. Whether it is a retail store, a gas station or convenience store, or an apartment complex, the issues that arise when an injury is sustained there are serious and complicated. If an owner or tenant fails to take adequate steps to be safe, an injured patron may every well have a claim against the negligent owner. Like in other personal injury cases, this will lead to possible negotiations with an insurance company who tries to minimize their exposure, and focus on their bottom line dollar instead of your past, present and future well being and compensation. This can lead to a feeling that you are under attack by the person or business that caused your harm, instead of feeling like they want to make it right. If you have been injured due to negligence or an unsafe condition of property -- whether it's from inadequate security, a slippery substance on the floor, a covered or hidden danger, or even a bite from a dangerous or unattended animal — you may be entitled to compensation.
