Dangerous Property

Premises liability covers a wide range of cases, usually involving personal injuries sustained as a result of a home or property owner's negligence. If you are injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Property owners may be held liable for things such as slippery surfaces, poor lighting, walkway impediments, violations of building codes, uneven stairs, broken railings, and cracked sidewalks.

Your class (invitee, licensee, trespasser) at the time of the fall will determine, in most instances, your rights in such a case because property owners owe different duties to different classes of people. To recover in such a case, you generally must prove your injury was caused by a dangerous condition on the premises that was known to, or should have been known to, the owner. A common defense to such cases is that the danger was "open and obvious". Property owners usually do not have to warn the public about dangers that are easily seen. We are experienced in handling these types of cases and can help you recover the compensation you deserve.
