Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to meet that obligation, and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable for the damages their negligence caused. If you were injured on someone else’s property due to a dangerous condition, you may have the right to seek significant compensation.

What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners responsible for injuries caused by dangerous conditions on their property. It is based on the principle that property owners owe a duty of care to people who come onto their property.
Types of Premises Liability Cases
Dangerous conditions can exist on any type of property, including residential, commercial, or public. Some of the most common types of premises liability claims include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Inadequate security injuries
- Negligent maintenance injuries
- Swimming pool accidents
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
- Toxic exposure
- Elevator and escalator accidents
- Falling object injuries
- Fire and building code violations
At Harpy Law, our premises liability lawyers have decades of experience protecting the rights of injury victims and securing maximum compensation for our clients.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
The value of your premises liability claim depends on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, the strength of the evidence, and the extent to which the property owner’s negligence contributed to your accident.
In a successful premises liability claim, you may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages, such as:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Other financial costs and losses
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Other intangible losses and costs
You should not accept a settlement offer from an insurance company until you know the full value of your claim. Once we have thoroughly evaluated your case, we will provide you with an honest assessment of what we believe a fair settlement would be.
Why You Should Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer
Property owners and their insurance companies will aggressively defend against your claim. Insurers will work to deny, delay, and minimize what they pay you, and they have experienced legal teams working on their behalf from the moment your accident occurs. You need an equally experienced advocate in your corner.
An experienced premises liability lawyer can thoroughly investigate your accident to establish causation and liability. They can take fast action to preserve critical evidence before it is lost or destroyed, identify all potentially liable parties, and accurately document the full extent of your damages.
Your attorney can negotiate aggressively with the insurance company to pursue a fair settlement as quickly as possible. And if a fair settlement cannot be reached, they can take your case to court and fight for the full compensation you are entitled to.
Your chances of recovering maximum compensation are significantly higher when an experienced premises liability lawyer represents you.
Why You Must Promptly Consult an Experienced Premises Liability Lawyer
You have a limited period of time to file a premises liability claim. Miss your filing deadline, and you may lose your right to any compensation, regardless of how strong your case is. Depending on your jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your claim, your deadline may be shorter than you expect.
In addition to determining your filing deadline, you should act promptly to help preserve evidence and collect evidence. Surveillance footage gets deleted. Hazardous conditions get repaired without documentation. Witnesses’ memories fade. The sooner you contact a premises liability attorney, the sooner they can begin preserving the evidence needed to build your strongest case.
