Premises liability law covers a wide range of accidents. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, over one million people visit emergency rooms every year because of slip and fall injuries.

We handle many types of premises liability cases:

• Negligent security 
• Slip and fall accidents
• Fire hazards
• Animal attacks and dog bites
• Workplace accidents
• Amusement park accidents
• Store or restaurant accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Elevator and escalator accidents
• Structural collapses
• Exposure to toxic substances

These are examples of common accidents that often lead to premises liability claims. You may have grounds for a claim if a careless property owner creates a hazard or injury risks through the inadequate care and maintenance of a property.

You can generally hold the individual, company, or entity responsible for the property you are injured on if you are injured on their property. If you file a premises liability claim, the defendant will depend on the circumstances. Generally, the person or company that owns, leases, occupies, or controls the property will be liable.

The defendant in your premises liability case could be:

• Your landlord
• A property management company 
• A tenant or renter
• An employee
• A retailer 
• A business owner 
• A company
• A restaurant
