According to the law, property owners are obligated to provide safe, secure and properly maintained premises. Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, property owners may be held liable if injury occurs.

As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive legal services to clients, Kantrovitz & Associates’ Premises Liability group specializes in the duties of property owners as related to damages that occur on the property. Many factors can impact the outcome of a premises liability case. Was the injured party (entrant) an invitee, licensee, or trespasser? Did the injury result from a natural or artificial condition of the premises? Was the property satisfactorily maintained? Was the facility inadequately secured?

Generally, the law provides for compensation of preventable accidents. Recompense may include loss of income, medical bills, as well as consideration for pain and suffering. Many businesses and homeowners carry premises liability insurance; however insufficient insurance leaves the property owner personally responsible for additional monies. If offered an insurance settlement, it is wise to consult with premises liability attorneys who will evaluate the case and ensure that the client’s interests are protected.

Our lawyers have helped clients faced with:

• Toxic chemical exposure, toxic mold, or lead poisoning
• Defective, inadequate or inoperative lighting
• Inadequate security on the premises
• Failure to warn of hazardous conditions or dangers on the property
• Improperly maintained equipment, furniture or furnishings
• Overgrown landscaping or tree growth, including fallen trees or limbs
• Dog (animal) bites, attacks, failure to warn or restrain
• Improperly maintained ditches, culverts, potholes, or open holes
• Broken or improperly marked stairs
• Liquid or foreign substances on the ground that cause slips or falls
• Any other dangerous conditions on the property that the owner fails to warn of, maintain, or correct.
