Premises Liability
Personal injury accidents due to hazardous conditions on a property are among the most common. By promptly and diligently completing an incident report, gathering evidence, and seeking medical treatment, you increase your chances of successfully pursuing a premises liability case. Our goal is to provide you with a free consultation to help you understand your rights and take steps to protect yourself.
Understanding Premises Liability:
Premises liability refers to the obligation of property owners and occupants to keep it safe for those who visit. It is important to know that in these cases, the law states that property owners and occupants must take reasonable measures to prevent injuries. These include regular maintenance, warning about known hazards, and timely correction. If you have suffered an injury due to a dangerous condition on a property, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit and seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Common Examples of Premises Liability:
Some common examples of premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents due to wet or defective floors, accidents on poorly maintained stairs or elevators, injuries caused by fallen or improperly placed objects, swimming pool accidents, negligent security, and uneven sidewalks to name a few. If you were injured on someone’s property and are unsure if you have a case, contact us and we will give you free legal advice.
Obtain an Incident Report:
Creating an incident report after a premises liability accident is crucial. An incident report helps establish a clear record of the incident, including details of what happened, who was involved, and any witnesses present. This documentation can significantly strengthen your case if you decide to pursue a personal injury claim.
What should be included in an incident report:
The date, time, and location of the accident, a description of the incident, any injuries sustained, and contact information for witnesses.
Seek Immediate Medical Assistance:
After a premises liability accident, it is important to contact emergency services if necessary or visit a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation. It is crucial to ensure that all injuries are properly documented, that you follow all recommended treatments, and retain copies of medical records and bills as evidence for any legal proceedings.
Seeking medical assistance after a premises liability accident is crucial for two main reasons.
First, it ensures your safety and well-being by promptly addressing any injuries sustained. Even seemingly minor injuries can develop into serious medical conditions if left untreated.
Second, seeking medical help creates a crucial record of your injuries, which is important for any potential personal injury claim.
Gather Evidence:
Take photographs of the accident scene, injuries, and any hazardous conditions that contributed to the incident. Additionally, acquiring surveillance footage and any relevant documentation can further support your claim. DO NOT get rid of shoes, glasses, purses, or items of clothing you were wearing when the accident occurred.
