When is a business owner or homeowner responsible for injuries occurring on his property?
If you suffer injury while on property owned by someone other than you, the property owner may be liable for your injuries. No matter who the property owner is, whether it be a privately owned home of one of your neighbors or a publicly owned shopping center, it is their responsibility to keep their property properly maintained and safe for others. Liability claims come into play when property owners fail to provide a safe and secure place for visitors. Therefore, it is important to prove that the property owner or property manager was negligent by failing to keep their property free of hazards or to provide sufficient security to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal activity. After a thorough evaluation of your case and analysis of the facts and circumstances, I can determine the damages to which you are entitled. Through a premises liability case you may be able to recover medical costs, past and future lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and for any other losses
