How Does A Premises Liability Claim Work?
The party that is in control of a property is responsible for maintaining it in a safe condition. This may include the property owner, landlord, tenant, or occupant of the property. If one of these parties fails to maintain safe conditions on the property, they can be held liable in the event that someone is injured due to a hazardous condition.
If this happens to you, the law gives you the right to file a premises liability claim against the at-fault party to recover compensation for your injuries. As a victim, you could be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Unfortunately, recovering compensation is not easy, especially if you are not represented by an experienced lawyer. That’s why it’s in your best interest to turn to our premises liability lawyers for help. Over the years, we’ve helped countless clients take legal action in order to secure the compensation they deserve for their injuries. We know what it takes to win these complex cases—let us prove it to you.

How Can You Hold A Property Owner Liable in A Premises Liability Claim?
You cannot win compensation in a premises liability claim unless you are able to prove the property owner’s liability. In other words, you must show that the property owner was negligent and that you were injured as a result of their negligence.
Here are the key elements you will need to prove to establish liability and win compensation for your injuries:
- There was a dangerous condition on the defendant’s property.
- The defendant created, knew, or should have known about the dangerous condition on their property.
- The defendant did not warn you about the dangerous condition or take the necessary steps to fix the dangerous condition.
- You were injured due to the dangerous condition on the defendant’s property.
- You suffered damages as a result of your injuries.
You cannot prove these elements without evidence. Let our lawyers launch an investigation into the accident to gather the evidence that we need to support your claim and secure the compensation you deserve.
