What is premises liability law?

Premises liability law governs injuries sustained on other peoples' public or private property. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property and watching for potential hazards. When they fail to do so and you are injured, they are responsible. Premises liability law covers both physical and emotional injuries as well as financial losses, such as those caused by a robbery or theft. Because bringing a premises liability lawsuit is a complicated and potentially time-consuming process, you should discuss your case with an expert premises liability lawyer if you have been injured on someone else's property. Failing to do so may hurt your chances of collecting compensation for your losses.

What sorts of hazardous conditions should I watch for?

Though filing a successful premises liability lawsuit can address your financial losses, it is better yet to avoid being injured in the first place. Hazardous conditions to be aware of include walkways with poor traction, spills in stores, shoddily maintained stairways, ice and other weather-related hazards, and insufficient security measures. It is also important to watch for potentially dangerous animals, as a dog bite or other animal attack falls under premises liability law as well.

Remaining vigilant for these conditions can help you avoid the premises of careless property owners and protect yourself from harm. However, if you are still injured, a premises liability lawyer from our firm, serving residents of Boston, Malden, and Everett, Massachusetts, can help you recover full compensation for your losses.

What should I do if I am injured?

The best thing to do once you have been injured is to record as much information about the incident as possible. Take pictures of the scene of the accident as well as your injuries. Maintain records of your medical treatment and the other costs you incur as a result of your injury. Finally, speak with a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible to begin preparing your lawsuit. Undue delay can hurt your chances of winning the case, or even leave you without recourse if you wait until the statute of limitations passes.

Who is responsible for my injuries?

Depending on the circumstances, many people could be liable for your injuries. Some of those potentially responsible include business owners, operators, and managers, employees who create or fail to eliminate hazards, and even homeowners whose premises are unsafe. Anyone who had a duty to maintain the premises safely and failed to do so, contributing to your injuries, can be held liable for your losses.
