Huntington Premises Liability Attorney

Premise owners have a responsibility to provide a safe environment to anyone who is invited onto or could be present on their property. The owners can be held liable if you have been hurt due to unsafe conditions such as unmaintained sidewalks, potholes, falling objects, inadequate lighting, uneven walking surfaces, faulty fencing or locks, faulty drains, or a number of other possible failures to provide a safe premise. It is critical when filing a premises liability claim to have knowledgeable and dedicated representation. We provide powerful legal guidance through the claims process if you have been injured on private, public, commercial, or government property.

Why You Need a Premises Liability Attorney

Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment for anyone lawfully on their premises. Failure to meet this duty can result in serious injury, and the property owner may be held liable. Common causes of premises liability injuries include:

  • Slips and falls due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or icy sidewalks
  • Falling objects in stores, warehouses, or construction sites
  • Inadequate lighting that creates hazardous walking areas
  • Dog bites or animal attacks
  • Excavations or open holes left unguarded
  • Faulty fire alarms or smoke detectors
  • Defective stairs, railings, or fencing
  • Negligent maintenance or failure to warn of dangerous conditions

Premises liability cases are often complex and contentious. Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim or deny liability, which is why it is critical to have a knowledgeable attorney by your side.

Types of Premises Liability Claims

At Woelfel & Woelfel LLP, we handle a wide range of premises liability claims, including but not limited to:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Injuries from falling objects
  • Accidents on construction sites
  • Injuries due to negligent property maintenance
  • Public property hazards

Whether the accident occurred on residential, commercial, or government property, our experienced attorneys can help evaluate your case, establish liability, and maximize your recovery.
