Premises Liability

Premises Liability

Premises liability cases arise when a person is injured due to unsafe or dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. Property owners, landlords, and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious accidents can occur, leading to injuries that may require medical treatment, time off work, and long-term recovery.

At Gharibian Legal, we represent individuals who have been injured because of unsafe property conditions. These cases often involve slip and fall accidents, poor maintenance, inadequate security, or hazardous conditions that were not properly addressed. Our firm is committed to holding negligent property owners accountable and helping injury victims recover the compensation they deserve.

We carefully investigate each case to determine how the accident happened, who is responsible, and whether proper safety standards were followed. Insurance companies often try to deny or reduce premises liability claims, but we fight to protect your rights and pursue fair compensation.

Common Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases can involve many different types of property-related hazards, including:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Wet or slippery floors
• Uneven sidewalks or flooring
• Poor lighting in public or private areas
• Broken stairs or railings
• Falling objects
• Unsafe building conditions
• Inadequate security leading to assaults

These dangerous conditions can exist in stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, offices, and other public or private spaces.

Common Injuries in Premises Liability Cases

Accidents on unsafe property can lead to serious injuries such as:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Head injuries and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
• Hip injuries, especially in older adults
• Long-term mobility issues
• Emotional distress after traumatic incidents

Even a simple slip or fall can result in long-lasting medical problems.

What Property Owners Are Responsible For

Property owners and managers are legally required to keep their premises reasonably safe. This includes:

• Regular inspections of the property
• Fixing known hazards in a timely manner
• Providing warnings about dangerous conditions
• Maintaining safe walking surfaces and lighting
• Ensuring security in high-risk areas

When property owners fail to take reasonable care, they may be held legally responsible for resulting injuries.

Compensation in Premises Liability Cases

Injured victims may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical treatment
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Rehabilitation costs

The value of a claim depends on the severity of injuries and how the accident affects daily life.
