How we prove a premises case

Duty and control

We identify who controlled the area and what safety rules applied. Commercial tenants, management companies, and vendors may share responsibility.

Notice of the hazard

We prove the defendant knew or should have known about the danger. Notice can be actual or constructive and is shown with timelines, logs, and patterns.

Causation

Medical documentation links the incident to the injuries and explains why symptoms persist.

Damages

We calculate the full impact on health, work, and daily life, including future care and long term limitations.

Common hazards and locations

Slip and trip conditions
Liquid spills, tracked water, food debris, loose mats, curled rugs, worn treads, unsecured cords, and uneven transitions.

Structural and lighting issues
Broken handrails, loose steps, missing guardrails, potholes, uneven sidewalks, cracked pavement, poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, and hallways.

Exterior and seasonal dangers
Snow and ice at entrances, accumulation from downspouts, and slick paint or sealants.

Security lapses
Inadequate lighting, broken locks, lack of access control, and prior criminal activity that was ignored, leading to assaults or theft related injuries.

Where these cases occur
Grocery and retail stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, offices, garages, warehouses, sidewalks, and private homes.

Defenses we are ready to counter

No notice
We use logs, timelines, and video to show the hazard existed long enough that it should have been found and fixed.

Open and obvious
A visible hazard does not excuse a failure to maintain safe conditions or to provide reasonable warnings.

Blame shifting
Arguments about footwear, distractions, or preexisting conditions are addressed with facts, medical proof, and human factors analysis.

Quick cleanup claims
Informal or sporadic inspections may be inadequate. We compare practices to reasonable standards for similar properties.

Injuries and damages we pursue

What to do after a fall or injury on property

Frequently asked questions
Do I have a case if I did not see the hazard?
Possibly. Many hazards are not obvious. The key question is whether the property failed to use reasonable care to prevent or warn about the danger.
A sign helps only if it is timely, visible, and placed correctly. We examine whether the warning was reasonable and whether the condition should have been fixed.
They can be. Liability depends on what the owner knew, weather patterns, and the reasonableness of removal efforts. We build the timeline and evaluate the duty.
Most injury matters are contingency based. You pay no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. All terms are provided in writing.

Deadlines vary by state and case type and can be shorter for claims involving government entities. Contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
