When You Have Been Injured on Another's Property
Whether you are a visitor or guest at another's home or a patron at a business establishment, you have the right to expect that the homeowner or business owner will maintain their property to ensure your safety. If you are injured, and the property owner or other responsible party failed to properly maintain their property, you may have a claim for compensation for your injuries.
At the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia law offices of Caroselli Beachler McTiernan & Conboy, L.L.C., we hold property owners accountable for their negligence. Our experienced legal team represents clients throughout Pennsylvania in premises liability lawsuits, helping them achieve favorable settlements and verdicts.
About Premises Liability Lawsuits
Premise liability cases commonly occur when an individual — due to the presence of a hazardous condition on the property — slips, trips or falls. Many different types of hazardous conditions can subject a responsible party to liability including:
- Uneven pavement
- Slippery substances on a floor
- Accumulation of snow, ice or other debris on a sidewalk or parking lot
- Defective stairs
- Loose handrails
In order to pursue a premise liability claim, it will be necessary to prove that the property owner or other responsible party caused the dangerous condition that lead to the accident or allowed that condition to occur. It must also be proven that the party either knew or should have reasonably known about the danger posed by the condition.
Just because you were injured on another's property, you cannot simply assume the property owner will take responsibility. If you have sustained an injury that occurred on another's property, the attorneys at Caroselli Beachler McTiernan & Conboy, L.L.C., can assist you in determining if you can pursue a claim against the property owner or other responsible party.
Premise liability cases also involve claims arising from dog bites, swimming pool accidents and harm suffered from falling merchandise or due to inadequate security.
