Washington D.C. Premises Liability Attorney
Maryland Slip & Fall Injury Lawyer
Obtain Compensation When Dangerous Property Conditions Lead to Injury
Injuries suffered while on another's property — whether tripping and falling in a retail store or being scalded by hot water in a hotel — may be the direct result of negligence on the part of the building owner or property manager. That's because building owners and management companies are legally responsible for maintaining their property in reasonably safe condition.
They can be held financially responsible in premises liability cases for injuries others suffer because they failed to:
- Make needed repairs when there is a known defect or problem (broken railings, broken elevators, apartment buildings, carpeting that slips or bunches, water heaters that are set at too hot a setting, sidewalks with broken concrete, uneven surfaces or pooling ice)
- Warn people of unsafe conditions (put signage around slippery floors, notice that an elevator is broken or that a pool is unsupervised)
- Take reasonable action to make property conditions safe (install fencing to keep a dog on its own property, provide handrails in a stairwell or properly light a parking lot)
- Offer adequate security in hotels, schools and other places where it is reasonably foreseeable that criminal activity might occur.
