An injury can happen anywhere, and there are many different causes. However, if your injury was caused by someone’s property – or it happened on someone’s property – you could have a premises liability claim on your hands. It’s important to get all of the facts straight about your injury so you can build a case with the help of your attorney. Here are some examples of premises liability:
- Dog bites. If you’re visiting someone’s house, or at their residence to do some work on their behalf, you could encounter a territorial dog. In fact, with the growing numbers of dogs we’re seeing literally everywhere – from the grocery store to the office – you’re more likely than ever to have a negative experience with someone’s furbaby. While they can be fun and cute, a dog bite is a serious injury, and because that dog is someone’s property, they can (and should) be held liable for your damages.
- Broken glass. Swimming pools are fun, but there’s no telling what’s at the bottom if you’re at a public pool, or a pool at a hotel. If you cut your foot at the bottom of a pool because the property owner failed to maintain a safe standard, you can hold them accountable for your injuries. It’s important to get in touch with an injury lawyer as soon as possible to set things straight – especially if your injury was infected and made worse.
- Slip and falls. If you’re shopping in the grocery store and slip on some wet tile, you could also have a premises liability case on your hands. The business owner or management should have marked the floor as wet to warn you (and the rest of the customers) but now you’re dealing with an injury and expensive medical bills. Not fun.
