What Are the Different Types of Premises Liability Claims?
For some, premises liability, is synonymous with "slip and fall" incidents, but in reality, these claims can cover nearly any kind of injury. The common types of accidents that our premises liability lawyers can help with include:
Slip and Fall Accidents
A customer slipping on a spilled beverage in a restaurant, a pedestrian tripping on an uneven pavement, or a guest stepping on a weak deck board and fell through, are just a few examples. Contact our slip and fall attorneys to understand if you have grounds for a claim.
Elevator and Escalator Accidents
These convenient people movers come with some risk. Falling into elevator shafts from a door opening prematurely, sudden drops due to mechanical failure, or trips and falls from misaligned elevator edges, are instances in which our premises liability lawyers can assist.
Swimming Pool Accidents
From slippery surfaces and poor pool maintenance to inadequate supervision, a lack of proper warning signage, and defective pool equipment, unsafe swimming areas can cause minor or major accidents. Our premises liability lawyers help you effectively and efficiently navigate the circumstances of your case.
Fires
Fire incidents that can lead to premises liability claims include faulty electric wiring, a lack of fire safety measures such as extinguishers or sprinkler systems, or gas leaks. Most causes of fire accidents are preventable when property owners exercise reasonable care, inspect and maintain their premises regularly, and take precautions to protect their guests from harm.
