Premises Liability

Compensation For Property Injuries: Do You Have A Case?

When you patronize a retail store, grocery store, restaurant, bar, hotel, or golf course, you expect that the property will be free of hazards that could cause you harm. Managers or owners of these types of venues, as well as of public or governmental buildings, have a responsibility to maintain their property so that it is safe for customers, visitors, and employees.

If a property is unsafe, defective, or dangerous and someone is injured, a property owner can be liable for damages under the theory of premises liability.

The Ariel Law Group can help you determine if injuries you sustain on commercial or public property might entitle you to compensation.

What Constitutes
A Dangerous Condition?

There are countless hazardous conditions found on different types of property that can cause injury. The most common injuries occur from:

• Slippery surfaces
  such as standing water or open containers of food on a grocery store aisle floor
• Poor security
  that results from a lack of inadequate lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Defective elevators or stairways,
  including escalators in a shopping mall or hotel
• Toxic fumes
  such as leaking natural gas in a public arena under construction

Determining
Liability

Because the law is complex, not all conditions that cause injury will constitute liability. If you or a loved one have been injured on any type of premises, the best way to determine if a property owner or hotel manager is liable under the law is to reach out to our team of experienced attorneys.

When you patronize a place of business, a public building, or even a church, you have the responsibility to be careful and proceed prudently. If you slip and fall on a wet floor where a warning sign that warns “Wet Floor. Slippery when wet” was posted, liability for your injuries may not fall on the property owner. The same is true if you walked into an area closed to the public and tripped over items stored there, or you were drunk and stumbled down a well-lit staircase. As with most accident cases, the opposing side will attempt to prove that you were responsible for your injuries.

Our job is to determine what happened and built a case in your favor. After discussing what happened in detail, we will advise you of your potential legal recourse and compensation available.
