Premises liability is a legal principle that states that owners or occupants of property owe visitors a duty to keep the property safe. If a property owner or manager fails to keep the property free of hazards, he or she can be held legally responsible for any injuries or accidents that occur.
Property Damage
The final element of negligence is damages. To recover compensation, the plaintiff must demonstrate that he or she incurred measurable losses as a result of the accident or injury. Damages can be in the form of lost wages, lost earning capacity, medical expenses, property damage, or pain and suffering.
From fractures to head injuries, a personal injury can take a variety of forms. Wrongful parties should be accountable for their negligence, and any financial burden should be placed on them, not you.
Medical Malpractice
The gravity of a physician’s mistake can have long-term ramifications. While some harm may be rectified through follow-up surgeries and physical therapy, medical malpractice victims are often left with permanent disabilities. These physical challenges can forever change the course of a person’s life.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Staphylococcal is an infection that is caused by a bacterium that is usually found on the skin or in the nose. In dog bites, staph can lead to bacteremia, which is an infection of the bloodstream.
Slip and Fall Injury
When you are allowed on someone else’s property, you have a right to be protected from dangerous or hidden property conditions that would lead to a slip-and-fall injury. Any hazard such as a wet floor, loose floorboard, icy sidewalks, defective stairs or objects left on the ground can cause you to fall and sustain a serious slip-and-fall injury.
