Types of Premise Liability Cases

Premises liability cases can involve a variety of circumstances. Property owners can be liable for failing to properly address dangerous conditions that are known to them under certain circumstances. Premise liability cases include the following:

Unattended Parking Lots

Retail stores, parking decks and parking lots have a duty to keep their parking lots safe. This duty can include the design of parking lot, having security, maintaining the pavement and surrounding areas, and providing adequate warning signage. Certain pay parking lots and parking decks may have an exculpatory clause or liability waiver on the parking ticket. Exculpatory clause can create complex legal issues. If you have been injured in a parking lot contact our experienced attorneys to discuss your case.

Inadequate Security

Malls, hotels, retail stores, and other businesses have a responsibility to keep their vicinities safe for guests and customers. To fulfill the duty of adequate security businesses and property owners may be required to hire security guards, install security cameras and use security gates.

Slip and Fall

Inadequate property maintenance can lead to hazardous conditions that may cause severe injuries to customers, visitors or guests. One of the most common premise liability cases is slip and fall. A property owner’s failure to maintain flooring and failing to remove debris or liquids can cause serious injury. Slip and falls are often embarrassing for the victim, and businesses will put pressure on you to make a statement or sign a release. It is important if you have been in a slip and fall to seek immediate medical attention and take photos of the scene. Our attorneys can help with your slip and fall injuries.
