Understanding Premises Liability in Northwest Indiana
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors, guests, customers, or tenants. When they fail in this duty, and an individual suffers harm as a result, the property owner may be held liable for the injuries sustained.
Common Premises Liability Incidents
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slipping on a wet floor, icy sidewalks, or uneven surfaces due to negligent maintenance can result in serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, or spinal cord injuries.
Inadequate Security
Insufficient security measures in places like parking lots, malls, or apartment complexes can lead to assaults, robberies, or other criminal activities causing harm to visitors or residents.
Hazardous Conditions
Poorly maintained premises, including broken stairs, defective elevators, or exposed wiring, can pose significant risks and result in injuries.
Dog Bites or Animal Attacks
Owners are responsible for controlling their pets. Dog bites or attacks can cause severe injuries and emotional trauma.
Seeking Compensation for Premises Liability Injuries
Establishing Liability
Proving liability in premises liability cases involves demonstrating that the property owner was aware or should have been aware of the hazardous condition but failed to address it in a reasonable amount of time.
Gathering Evidence
Our legal team conducts thorough investigations, gathering evidence such as incident reports, witness statements, photographs, and maintenance records to build a compelling case on your behalf.
