Premises Liability

A premises liability lawyer represents someone who was injured on someone else’s property, resulting in a personal injury. This is where an injury was caused by an unsafe condition on someone’s property.

Usually, most personal injury cases are because of a certain type of negligence made by other individuals. Premises liability cases are also based on negligence. A premises liability lawyer understands the legalities and can help you navigate this kind of situation.

If the client is able to prove that his/her injury was made by the owner of the property failing to use reasonable care in their property, the case is won.
