Injuries can happen in both familiar and unfamiliar places – at someone else’s home, a parking lot or garage, a store or commercial building where one is visiting. Our experience has run the gamut in cases such as these, where danger lurks because a property owner has been careless about the safety of others who are on the property for any given reason.

We have successfully handled matters involving premises liability for serious injuries and even death, whether caused by falls on a hazardous walkway or untreated ice, bites by unrestrained dogs, accidental shootings by children who found unsecured guns, or criminal activities that the property owner did not adequately guard against. These cases almost always involve strict standards of proof, requiring evidence that the proprietor knew or should have known of a foreseeable risk of harm to the person on the premises. But such notice of danger can be established in a variety of ways, and we leave no stone unturned in interviewing witnesses and obtaining records to prove the essential elements of the case (and to overcome the frequently-asserted defense that the injury was the plaintiff’s fault).
