Have you been injured due to the negligence of a property owner or occupant while you were on or near their property? Have you tripped or slipped on the property and suffered injury from the fall? If so, please contact the lawyers at the Friedland Law Group to assist you in obtaining the money you deserve for lost wages, medical expenses and scarring or disfigurement the accident has caused. Premises liability cases are a result of a defect or dangerous condition on the premises of another person or business. Property owners and occupants owe a duty to maintain their property free from a dangerous condition which is not readily apparent. Many times property owners and occupants allow customers, invitees and licensees to enter an area on that property which may have slippery floors, trip hazards, dangerous holes, defective or broken staircases, defective handrails, broken steps or broken concrete which pose serious risks to invited guests who have no knowledge of the defect. Injuries may result from these defects. These injuries can range from broken bones, brain trauma, fractured back and neck injuries to name a few.
Buildings and premises are usually governed by building and safety codes which require that the property meet a certain standard. Unfortunately, many buildings and landowners fail to comply with these codes. As a result this leads to hazardous and unsafe conditions on the property that can cause serious injuries. Buildings and landlords need to constantly keep these safety codes up to date. In some cases it is important to use experts, such as architects, engineers and safety personnel to examine the premises to expose these code and safety violations. |
