ESTABLISHING FAULT IN A PREMISES LIABILITY CASE

Whether it’s your neighbor’s house or a grocery store down the street, property owners do not always take the necessary precautions to make their properties safe. As a result, accidents may occur due to the following conditions:

• Slippery floors
• Dog bites
• Staircases without railing
• Broken or cracked sidewalks
• Access to construction areas
• Inadequate lighting
• Exposure to electrical wiring



When property owners neglect the building or grounds or violate residential or commercial building codes, they put others at risk of injury or fatality. If your accident occurred as the result of owner negligence, then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The Gartner Law Firm can investigate the accident to establish fault and liability. Our goal is to demonstrate the property owner’s negligence so that you won’t get stuck paying for your medical bills or other expenses.

WHAT LOSSES CAN YOU RECOVER IN A PREMISES LIABILITY SUIT?

As your attorneys, we can discuss the extent of your damages and help you estimate what your claim may be worth. In a premises liability case you may be able to account for the following damages:

MEDICAL EXPENSES

A slip and fall accident can cause numerous injuries such as broken bones, spinal injuries, torn muscles/ligaments, or traumatic brain injuries. You may require extensive medical attention, which can lead to large medical bills. If so, you may be able to claim all related expenses.

LOST WAGES

You may be compensated for the time you spent away from work during your recovery. Your boss may confirm lost pay and benefits. If you are disabled, then you may be able to claim disability pay as well.

WRONGFUL DEATH

If a loved one was killed in an accident on someone else’s property, your family may be able to collect compensation for the sudden loss of income, burial experiences, pre-death medical expenses, and pre-death pain and suffering.
