Premises Liability
Accidents that cause injuries at businesses, offices, parks and other public places or private homes may be caused by dangerous conditions that go unrepaired or without proper warnings. Premises liability law holds that property owners have a duty to make sure that their properties are reasonably safe for those who visit or to warn visitors that a hazard exists.
When aware of the danger, the owner (or others in charge) is given a reasonable amount of time to fix it. Property owners who neglect their legal duty may be held liable for the injuries and losses that result.
A premises liability claim may arise from:
Slip-and-fall accidents – Spilled liquids or tracked-in ice and snow can create a slipping hazard in many public places.
Obstructed walkways — Trip-and-fall accidents can result from items left in walkways, such as a pallet of products in a store aisle. Cluttered stairwells and tools or equipment left in a hallway are also dangerous.
Faulty elevators and escalators — Elevators or escalators that are not properly designed, installed and maintained may cause injuries. Elevators that don’t stop flush with the floor and escalators with misaligned steps may create a tripping hazard.
Falling merchandise or debris — Shelves that have been overstocked or poorly stacked may cause injuries if the items fall onto customers. Construction sites and other work zones also create the potential for a heavy object to fall from above and strike someone below.
Inadequate security — Apartment complexes, offices, stores, hotels and other public places may be liable for failing to provide enough security if an assault occurs. Sponsors of large events may be liable for accidents caused by too few security officers to control crowds.
Poor lighting — Areas with insufficient lighting make it difficult to see hazards that someone might otherwise avoid. Poor lighting also invites criminal activity.
Playground or amusement park accidents — Rides and equipment must be designed, constructed, maintained and operated safely.
Swimming pool accidents — In addition to a drowning hazard, swimming pools can also be dangerous because of defective drains or water too shallow for diving. A poorly maintained pool with bacteria in the water may make swimmers sick.
Dog bites — Dog owners can be held liable for injuries caused when their dogs attack, particularly if the dog has a history of vicious behavior.
Wrongful Death
When a family member’s death is caused by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, those who were dependent on, or a beneficiary of the family member may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive the closure and financial compensation to which you and your family are entitled.
A wrongful death is when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another party. Wrongful deaths occur in situations such as:
Medical Malpractice - Wrongful death lawsuits can stem from hospital workers negligence in the emergency room, such as performing surgical errors, misdiagnosing a health condition, or prematurely discharging a patient, or errors in medication or anesthesia.
Vehicle Accidents - Individuals negligently causing accidents that result in the death of another may be held responsible as well as automobile companies, who may be held responsible for defective products in their automobile, while trucking companies may be held accountable for truck accidents if their employee breaks trucking regulations
The heirs of a family may file a wrongful death lawsuit in the event of another party’s negligence that causes the death of a loved one, however, wrongful death cases must be filed within a specific time period or you risk losing your right to financial compensation. While no amount of financial payment can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one, being financially secure in your future and the comfort of responsible parties being brought to justice can provide a sense of closure and security to survivors.
You need the help of experienced, wrongful death attorneys to guide you through the process and help you to receive the monetary damages you are entitled to.
