OTHER INJURIES

Premises Liability cases arise from injuries occurring in residential and commercial buildings like shopping centers, parking lots, hotels, casinos, amusement parks, airports, healthcare facilities, nightclubs and bars. These cases include slip and fall injuries, rape, assault, battery and even murder. The owner or operator of the premises has a duty to keep the premises in reasonably safe condition, or at least warn customers of a dangerous condition which the owner or operator caused, knows about, or should know about. This duty includes proper security, lighting and maintenance.

If you are injured while on the property of another, you may be entitled to recover damages for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering. Your entitlement to damages will depend on the particular circumstances surrounding your case. For example, if you are in a grocery store and slip and fall, the store may be liable for your damages if you are able to prove that the store knew or should have known of a dangerous condition that it failed to correct or to warn customers about.

If you are injured while you are a guest in someone's home, you may be entitled to damages if the property owner knew of a dangerous condition on his or her property, and failed to take reasonable precautions to correct the condition or to warn you about the danger.

Manufacturers of products can also be held liable for injuries consumers receive as a result of defective products.   Defects that incur liability in manufacturers and suppliers include design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. 

If you or a loved one is attacked by a dog or has a dog bite, you may be entitled to recover damages from the dog's owner, whether you were on public property, or lawfully on private property, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness.  You may be able to recover for past and future medical expenses; past and future lost wages; pain and suffering; scarring; and property damage.
