A timely and thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding a premises liability case is crucial. Taking photographs of the scene is often very important. Our firm will hire accident reconstruction experts, investigators and professional photographers when necessary to uncover the evidence necessary to execute effective prosecution.

Determining the person or entity at fault can be complex but critical in making your case. For instance, property owners have a duty to manage & maintain their property and perform reasonable inspections to avoid unsafe conditions, making themselves potentially liable for a premise liability claim. Managing agents, contractors working on the premises, municipalities, or anyone having control of the property could be found liable as well depending on the facts of the claim.

Victims of accidents are sometimes concerned that if they are injured in a friend’s, neighbor’s or relative’s home or business, that bringing a premises lawsuit could harm their relationships. Fortunately, this does not need to be a factor in deciding whether to file a claim. Many individuals have homeowner’s insurance, and most businesses also have liability insurance. You have a right to compensation if someone’s wrongdoing or negligence caused your accident, so worrying about causing financial hardship to a friend, neighbor, relative or business should not factor into your decision to file a premises liability claim.
