Premises Liability
Injuries on property that was not kept safe: broken stairs and railings, unmarked wet floors, bad lighting, falling merchandise, and negligent security.
The legal question is not whether you fell. It is whether the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn about it. That is proved with maintenance logs, prior complaints, inspection records, and video.
We send a preservation letter the day we take the case, because the footage showing a spill sitting there for an hour is the case, and it is gone in a week.
What we do on a case like this
- Evidence preservation letters sent immediately
- Prior-complaint and code-violation history pulled
- Camera footage requested before it is overwritten
- Handled against national retailers and their insurers
Questions and Answers
Q.There was no wet floor sign, but I did not report it. Is that a problem?+−
It makes the case harder, not impossible. Photographs, a receipt placing you there, witnesses, and store video can all establish what happened. Call before the footage cycles out.
Q.Can I bring a claim against my own landlord?+−
Yes. A landlord's duty to maintain common areas is separate from your tenancy, and the claim goes to their liability insurer, not their personal savings.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts, and nothing on this page is legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

Personal Injury Claims
When another party's negligence leaves you hurt, the claim covers your medical care, the income you lost, and what the injury took from your daily life. We build it for trial and negotiate from there.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Bite and attack claims, including the scarring and the fear that outlast the wound. Most are paid by the owner's homeowner or renter policy, not out of pocket.
Wrongful Death
A claim brought by close family when negligence causes a death. It covers what the family lost financially, and the relationship that was taken from them.
