​PREMISES LIABILITY

​​The Six East Law Group provides legal recourse to victims injured due to violations of premises liability law. 

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability law protects those injured on other peoples’ properties due to dangerous conditions on that property. For example, if a property owner fails to address a hazardous condition on his or her land, or fails to maintain reasonable standards of care, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic. An injury victim may be able to sue on the basis of violating premises liability law.  These accidents happen in: 
  • parking lots
  • shopping centers
  • apartment complexes
  • ​theaters
  • ​hospitals
  • and many other commercial properties​

There are many different types of hazardous property conditions that can cause serious injuries, such as:

  • Missing railings
  • Icy sidewalks
  • Broken or insufficiently lighted steps
  • Loose shingles
  • Unmarked wet floors
  • Potholes
  • Insufficient security leading to rape, assault, or other violent crimes
  • Fire hazards
  • Broken or absent smoke detectors / carbon monoxide detectors
  • ​Asbestos
  • ​Lead Paint

Injuries that these and other conditions can cause include:

  • Broken bones
  • Lacerations
  • Paralysis
  • Burns
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries​

While it is the responsibility of the property owner to keep the property as safe as possible, it can be very difficult to prove that the property owner should be held accountable.  A simple “slip and fall” does not mean that the owner of that property where the injury occurred should be held responsible.  Premises liability lawyers are experts in understanding your situation and evaluating what is the correct course of action for you.  Once an injury occurs on someone else’s property, an immediate investigation will take place, helping to make sure all witnesses and evidence is fresh and untampered. On certain occasions it is necessary to hire outside experts to assess financial impact, lost wages, and other damages.

Having a good premises liability attorney on your side can make a big difference when it comes to both the physical and financial healing process - an attorney who will help you move forward with your life with as little discomfort as possible.  If you or a loved one was hurt in a premises liability accident, you should talk to a personal injury attorney right away.

At the Six East Law Group each personal injury or wrongful death ca​se is a unique matter and an individualized strategy will be developed for your case.
