Norristown Premises Liability Attorney

Premises liability claims can arise for various reasons. Noteworthy examples of premises liability accidents include:

• Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents
• Assaults due to inadequate security
• Accidents at construction sites
• Accidents resulting from inadequate or poorly-maintained fire safety equipment
• Dangerous dog attacks
• Drownings

These types of accidents can occur when those responsible for addressing hazards on a property are negligent. For instance, someone who owns a retail store should train their employees to monitor for spills that can result in slip and fall accidents. If you were to be involved in such an accident because no one spotted and cleaned up a spill in a timely manner, you could be left with injuries for which you deserve compensation.

Injuries one might sustain as a result of a premises liability accident include:

• Broken bones
• Dislocated bones
• Back and/or neck injuries
• Traumatic brain injury

Those are just a few examples. The specific types of injuries you could sustain when being harmed on someone else’s property will vary depending on the nature of your accident.

Regardless, it’s likely your injuries will require some form of medical treatment. They may also prevent you from working and earning a paycheck until you recover. Depending on their severity, they may even result in long-term disability, pain, etc.

You can potentially seek compensation for a range of losses after being injured on someone else’s property as a result of negligence. Examples of losses/damages for which you might be compensated include (but aren’t necessarily limited to) the following:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering

You can also seek compensation if a loved one passed away in an accident resulting from the negligence of a property owner or manager.

To secure the full amount of compensation you deserve, you must:

• Identify the negligent parties responsible for an accident, which may require conducting an investigation
• Gather sufficient evidence showing an accident resulted from negligence
• File a claim with the negligent party’s insurance or follow a lawsuit to pursue damages in court
• Calculate the approximate amount of money you might deserve based on severity of your losses/damages
• Correspond with an insurance adjuster and potentially enter into negotiations if they refuse to offer an appropriate settlement
