Premises liability is the legal term for a property owner's responsibility to maintain buildings, parking lots and walkways in a reasonably safe condition. People who suffer injuries that result from an owner's negligent failure to keep the property safe have the legal right to recover damages.
It's not always easy, however, to identify the limits of an owner's responsibility for the safety of visitors, invited guests or paying customers. Most of the dispute in premises liability cases has to do with defining a property owner's duty to protect people from slip and fall accidents, structural defects and similar hazards.
We represent people who have been hurt through such causes as:
- Poor building maintenance or repair
- Inadequate lighting
- Construction site accidents
- Dog bites
- Playground accidents
- Negligent security
As an experienced workers' compensation lawyer, John Hart can represent workers who are injured at remote job sites on installation, maintenance, repair or inspection calls. In many cases, you'll be able to pursue a claim for personal injury damages while collecting workers' compensation benefits. Your premises liability claim against a negligent property owner will probably be the more valuable of the two actions.
