Premises Liability: What Does It Mean?

Premises liability law is the body of law which makes owners of land or premises responsible for injuries suffered by people who are present on the premises.

So, if you have been injured on another person’s property, that person has a responsibility to you and your safety. Whether the accident occurred at a store, home, office or commercial building you have legal rights. If you’ve been injured in an accident away from your home you may have a premises liability claim.

The Difficulty in Proving Premises Liability

An insurance company’s attorney’s main goal is to shift responsibility away from their client. (The Property owner or manager) The last thing they want is for you to collect on the policy they hold on the negligent party. In short, their job is to see you are NOT compensated.

Our job as premises liability lawyers is to protect you from them, preserve your rights & see that you get the MAXIMUM amount for your injuries.
