Have You Been Hurt On Someone Else’s Property?

Injuries often happen when we least expect them. A fall in the grocery store could turn your retirement years into a nightmare, an electrical fire in your apartment can leave you disfigured, or a loose railing can cause a dangerous fall and serious injuries.

These injuries collectively fall under the umbrella of premises liability law, which governs the rules that property owners and business operators must follow. They have specific duties and obligations toward guests and visitors like you. If they fail to follow them and you are injured as a result, you can hold them accountable for the harm caused.

We will make sure that the financial recovery process is effective and efficient so you can focus on medical recovery and get back to your life as soon as possible.

What Kinds Of Incidents And Injuries Are Eligible For Premises Liability Claims?

Some of the most common injuries are caused by unsafe conditions or unattended hazards outside the home. Slippery floors in a grocery store, unattended animals, poor electrical wiring, and even insufficient lighting can cause a fall or other injury.

As long as the incident was caused by the owner or operator’s negligence, not your own, a premises liability claim can usually be made. The Pigott Law Group has assisted injured victims of:

These incidents and more can cause all kinds of debilitating injuries that take you off work or otherwise disrupt your career or your daily quality of life. Such injuries can include:

Concussions or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Burns (from electrical wiring, hot surfaces, or fires)
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
Even some Catastrophic Injuries, like amputations or paralysis.

No matter the type of injury or its severity, if it was caused by negligence of the property owner or business operator, you can bring a premises liability claim against them for compensation.

Tackling Insurance Companies To Maximise Premises Liability Compensation

While premises liability claims allow you to demand compensation from those whose negligence caused your injury, the vast majority of the time, it will be their insurance, not the actual property owner or operator, who pays. Unfortunately, these insurance companies are financially motivated to pay you as little as possible.

When interacting with these insurance companies, it is all too easy to make mistakes or fall victim to their tactics and end up with far less compensation than you need or deserve.

As a result, if you are injured somewhere, it is vitally important that you reach out to us or any other premises liability attorneys near you as soon as possible. You should discuss your case and claim with an experienced lawyer before you say anything to an insurance company, and especially do so before you sign anything from them.
