Unsafe Property and Conditions
Property owners must take reasonable precautions to protect the safety of guests and visitors. If their negligence causes an accident or personal injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. We must prove that the owner knowingly allowed the unsafe condition to persist in order to recover damages and we must show that no fault falls on you for the injury.
If the injury happens at a store, the owner can be liable for the negligent actions of employees. This type of negligence can include a worker who pushes shopping carts into your legs or back, or an employee who drops on object on you. Examples of homeowner negligence include dog bites and hidden hazards.
Accidents can occur on residential and commercial properties, such as:
- Homes and apartments
- Grocery stores and gas stations
- Parking lots
- Discount retailers and shopping malls
- Hotels and restaurants
- Businesses
The property owner's insurance company will try to minimize the amount they have to pay out if you are injured. Before you sign any documents or speak with the insurance adjuster, call an attorney. We can protect you from questions or statements that the insurance company can use against you.
