Premises Liability Lawyer: Fighting for Injury Victims

If you or a loved one have been injured due to hazardous conditions on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation. Premises liability law holds property owners and managers accountable for ensuring their property is safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, and a dangerous condition leads to injury, you have the right to pursue a legal claim.

At LoVerde Law, our firm focuses on representing victims of premises liability accidents. Whether you’ve suffered from a slip and fall, trip and fall, or another dangerous or hazardous condition, we’re here to help you seek justice and secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the responsibility property owners have to keep their premises free of hazards that could harm guests, customers, tenants, or other visitors. When property owners or occupiers fail to maintain safe conditions, and an accident occurs, they should be responsible for the resulting injuries.  

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability cases. Whether you slipped on a wet floor, icy sidewalk, or uneven surface, if the property owner was negligent in maintaining a safe environment, you could be entitled to compensation.

Trip and fall injuries can occur when there is an obstacle or defect, such as an improperly placed rug or a raised edge on a floor, that causes a person to trip. When property owners fail to address these hazards, they may be held liable for the injuries sustained.

Floor mats are essential for preventing slips and falls, but if they are improperly placed, worn out, or have curled edges, they can pose a significant safety risk. In these cases, we help clients who have been injured by these seemingly minor, but dangerous, hazards.

Property owners are required to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots in a timely manner. If an unnatural accumulation of snow or ice causes a fall, the owner could be held responsible for failing to maintain a safe area.

Premises owners also have a duty to provide reasonable security measures to protect guests from harm. This includes adequate lighting, security personnel, and surveillance systems. When security measures are insufficient and result in harm (e.g., assault, robbery, or other crimes), the property owner may be held liable for their negligence.

Property owners and businesses have a duty to provide adequate security to protect visitors and tenants from foreseeable threats. When property owners fail to take reasonable precautions—such as hiring security personnel, installing surveillance cameras, or providing proper lighting—they may be held liable for injuries caused by criminal acts, including shootings.

If a property owner knew or should have known that there was a risk of violence or criminal activity, and failed to act, you could have a valid claim for negligent security.

• Inadequate Security Measures: Failure to provide security guards, proper lighting, or surveillance systems, especially in high-crime areas or locations with a history of criminal activity.
• Failure to Respond to Known Threats: If the property owner was aware of a potential threat, such as ongoing violence, criminal activity, or dangerous individuals frequenting the premises, and did nothing to mitigate the risk.
• Unsecured Entrances: Insufficient control over who enters the property, such as unlocked doors or inadequate screening of visitors, which can allow unauthorized individuals to enter and cause harm.
• High-Risk Areas: Commercial properties or establishments that serve alcohol, host large crowds, or are located in high-crime areas may require enhanced security to prevent violence, including shootings. Failing to implement additional precautions in these situations could be considered negligence.

Sometimes, the design or construction of a property itself may present dangers that cause injury. This could involve structural issues like poorly designed stairs, inadequate handrails, or ramps that do not meet safety standards. Our firm has experience handling cases where negligent design or construction leads to serious accidents.

Premises liability law covers a wide range of scenarios where hazardous conditions lead to injury. This can include accidents caused by inadequate maintenance, improper signage, faulty elevators or escalators, or even accidents in parking lots. Whatever the case, if you were hurt due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, we’re here to help.
