Property owners have a duty to take reasonable care to prevent injury to anyone they invite onto their property.
This is true for both personal residences and business properties.
If you are hurt because of a property owner’s negligence (such as a slip and fall), you may be entitled to have them pay for your recovery and losses that result from the injuries.
Some common incidents that may result in injury include:
- Slipping on a wet or waxed store floor
- Being hurt at a dangerous construction project
- Falling due to unsafe construction of flooring or stairs
- Being injured in a fire started by hazardous conditions
If you have a personal injury that happened on someone else’s property, you will likely have to deal with the insurance company. A common practice among insurance companies is for them to try and place the blame on the injured person. It is in your best interest not to sign any papers from the business or homeowner’s insurance company until you have consulted an attorney.
If you, or someone you love, have been injured on someone else’s property, please contact the attorneys at Timberlake, League, and Brooks to set up a FREE consultation and discuss your legal options.
