• Trip and fall accidents in the business establishments and residential properties
• Defective sidewalks or walkways

Under premises liability law, the owner or possessor of the property may be held responsible for injuries that occurred on the premises if the owner or possessor failed to make and keep the property safe of dangerous conditions, and failed to adequately warn about dangerous conditions that they knew or should have reasonably known about.

Insurance companies retain defense attorneys to fight claims brought against property owners and possessors. These defense attorneys and the insurance companies often, if not always, argue that the property owner or possessor did not have notice of the dangerous condition, thereby downplaying the potential value of the case. This is why you need someone on your side to stand up against the insurance company and to protect you and your rights.

We have handled countless premises liability cases including slip and falls, defective walkways and defective staircases, accidents on playgrounds and accidents on amusement parks, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, assaults resulting from a security guard's failure to act properly, and even an electrocution incident resulting from a downed power line.

If you have been injured as a result of a dangerous condition located on someone else's property, please give us a call. We will provide you with an honest assessment and educate you as to your options. There is never a fee unless there is recovery in the case.
