Frequently Asked Questions
Serious personal injury costs can add up quickly, and though you may be hesitant to bring a lawsuit against a friend or family member, you may be left with no choice. Many victims preserve their relationships by suing the involved property insurance company rather than the owners themselves. Every home and business has insurance for a reason – this is it!
Premises liability law holds a property owner legally responsible for slip and fall injuries that happen due to unsafe conditions. Lawmakers believe that people should hold a reasonable expectation that when they visit a property, they won’t get hurt. When an accident occurs as a result of negligent care by the property owner, victims may make a claim for damages against them.
The property owner is generally responsible for maintenance. If there are instances when the renter becomes the negligent party by failing to notify landlords of danger or acting in a way that causes hazardous conditions, they may become the legally responsible party.
Premises liability cases quickly get complicated when renters and property owners are both involved. Consulting with an experienced slip and fall attorney will help you navigate the process as smoothly as possible
