Have You Suffered Serious Injury Due to Dangerous Premises?
If so, you may be entitled to receive substantial compensation. Most people think of a slip & fall incident when they hear the term "premises liability." The term actually encompasses incidents that can be caused by several types of dangerous conditions occurring on a commercial premises.
What Is Premises Liability?
Simply put, premises liability is the idea that an injury occurred due to the negligence of a property owner. It usually has to do with some kind of lack of safety, whether it be something left in disrepair, or in a state of reasonable danger, such as an unlighted, or unsecured, area where the public would commonly be.
How To Know If You Have a Case
If you or someone you know have suffered serious or fatal injury because someone allowed a dangerous condition to remain on a commercial premises, you should contact a qualified and experienced attorney that specializes in these cases. Some of the most common and some of the least well-known types incidents arising out of dangerous conditions existing on the premises of businesses and other commercial properties include:
Slip and Fall Accidents
The term "slip & fall" is used broadly to include incidents where someone tripped and fell. Slip-and-fall cases occur when someone is injured because of a fall at a business or other commercial property as a result of a dangerous condition that was either created or allowed to remain by the owner or operator. Creating a dangerous condition or allowing it to remain on the property is almost always a result of ignoring basic safety rules that would have prevented the fall.

Construction Site Accidents
Construction site accidents are a very specific category of premises liability cases. Read more about Construction Site Accidents here.
Accidental Drowning
When someone drowns, or suffers injury due to a near-drowning incident as a result of negligence, the victim or her family may be entitled to compensation. One example of this type of case is where an apartment complex fails to replace a broken gate or lock so that a young child is able to enter the pool and drown. The apartment complex would likely be liable for that preventable drowning.

Nursing Home Negligence
Too often vulnerable adults in a nursing home, ALF or senior citizen facility are neglected or even abused. When that happens, the victim or her family may be entitled to compensation. Read more about Nursing Home Negligence negligence cases.
Negligent and Inadequate Security
Whenever property owners/entrepreneurs neglect to provide sufficient safety efforts, inhabitants and visitors are put in danger for criminal assault. Lacking security has over and over again brought about the assault, damage or passing of honest unfortunate casualties.
