Premises Liability

Injuries at stores, restaurants, apartments, and other properties due to dangerous conditions.

Business and property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for customers and visitors. An unmarked wet floor, a broken step, a poorly lit area, or inadequate security can cause serious injuries.

Winning these cases requires proving the owner knew — or should have known — about the hazard and failed to fix it. We gather that evidence: security footage, incident reports, maintenance records, and witnesses.

Cases we handle

  • Injuries at stores, supermarkets, and restaurants
  • Broken stairs, railings, and flooring
  • Inadequate lighting in hallways and parking lots
  • Negligent security at apartments and complexes
  • Falling merchandise
  • Poorly maintained pools and common areas

What to do if this happened to you

  1. 1

    Report the incident to the manager and ask for it in writing.

  2. 2

    Photograph the area and the condition that injured you, before it's fixed.

  3. 3

    Get witnesses' names and phone numbers.

  4. 4

    Seek medical attention and keep your receipts.

  5. 5

    Contact an attorney soon — security footage is often erased within days.
