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.
