Premises Liability (Falls and General Negligence)

Owners of land and buildings have a duty to protect their guests and others from various hazards—known and unknown. When the owner fails to warn or protect you from injury, they are responsible for that harm. This harm can be anything from a fall, to being injured by structures that break or collapse.

Sometimes these premises will have insurance that will pay for your medical bills, but not for your pain and suffering or lost wages. If your injuries are permanent, the medical coverage will never be enough. Aside from this medical coverage, the owner still has liability for uncovered damages. Getting them to pay can be difficult.

If you've been injured due to another person's property or premises, you need a lawyer who can find out what kinds of coverage are available to you, and who can navigate around the strong defenses these owners have. The defenses available to the owners change depending on why you were on their property, the obvious or hidden nature of the cause of your injury, as well as your duty to be cautious.

Don't take a chance on getting around these defenses without the advice of an attorney. The owner will have the advantage of an attorney provided by their insurance; that attorney will use those defenses in any way they can to stop you from getting compensated.
