Premises Liability Lawyers

If you’ve suffered a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other expenses arising from the accident. This is where Eng & Woods’ experienced premises liability lawyers can help. With in-depth knowledge of the laws governing premises liability cases, our attorneys will fight to get you the best possible outcome.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

If you have suffered a slip and fall injury and believe it was a result of someone else’s negligence, you may wish to consider a lawsuit. Below are examples of slip and fall cases that we routinely handle:

• Ice- Property owners have a legal responsibility to make sure their property is free of hazards. Slips resulting from ice-covered steps are extremely common and have been known to cause head and back injuries and even death.
• Poorly Lit Stairwells- Dark, unlit stairwells are an accident waiting to happen. Property owners must keep their premises illuminated for the safety of tenants and guests.
• Faulty Handrails and Stairs- Handrails and stairs can become loose and worn over time. If they are not properly maintained or repaired, a serious accident can result.
• Food Spills- Typically occurring in restaurants and grocery stores, food spills create slippery surfaces that can lead to injury or even death.
• Uneven Sidewalks- If a sidewalk is not properly constructed or if it degrades over time, a treacherous lip can form between the concrete slabs, causing passersby to trip and fall.

In our investigations with premises liability cases, we first work to determine whether the property owner truly met their legal requirements in terms of property safety. If we can prove that the property is unsafe, we move forward and bring the fight to the courtroom to obtain financial compensation for you and punitive damages against the property owner.
