Premises liability law deals with the responsibility of property owners and property managers to maintain safe premises, free of dangerous conditions that could foreseeably result in harmful accidents and injuries.

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere and can cause serious personal injuries. Slip and falls often happen in commercial settings, such as grocery stores, drug stores, office buildings, construction sites, gas stations and malls, but they also happen on private property or residences. Premises Liability accidents can include toxic exposure, animal attacks, swimming pool accidents and amusement park ride accidents.

The owners/managers of both public and private properties have the legal duty to maintain safe premises. Whether you are an invited guest in a home, or shopping at a mall, or enjoying your vacation at a hotel, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries suffered by you.

Some common types of Premises Liability cases include:

• Swimming pool drownings
• Elevator, escalator, and automatic door accidents
• Slip & fall accidents in restaurants, stores or shopping malls
• Tripping caused by electrical cords, unguarded openings, exposed pipes
• Falling objects
• Amusement park accidents
• Accidents in parking lots, parking garages and ramps
• Accidents in sports stadiums
• Injuries due to inadequate security or safeguards
• Sexual assault due to inadequate security

Dangerous or defective conditions may be large or small, temporary or permanent. Temporary conditions such as water on the floor of a grocery store or snow and ice on the stairs of a restaurant need to be investigated quickly. Even if you think the accident may have been your fault, you still may be entitled to seek compensation based on proportional (comparative) liability. It is important to contact an attorney who is qualified to conduct a thorough investigation of your claim.
