Premise Liability Attorney
Serving Norwalk, Middletown, CT & Beyond
Premises liability laws require property owners to provide reasonably safe conditions for visitors and guests. While the circumstances can vary depending on the type of property and guest involved, premises liability laws generally require landowners to keep their property safe for the benefit of people who are using or occupying the land.
Whether the property is a public business, such as a retail store, supermarket, or restaurant, a housing complex, or a privately-owned residence, property owners must follow laws to ensure that people can be safe on their property. And when property owners fail to follow these laws or neglect their duty to keep things safe and people suffer an injury as a result, the owner may be held accountable. If you have suffered an injury, our Connecticut premises liability attorneys are ready to fight for you.
There are many different types of accidents that fall under the category of “premises liability.” Among the most common accidents are “slip-and-falls.” These occur when a victim is injured by slipping, tripping, or falling as a result of a preventable hazard, which may include wet floors, uneven flooring, cords or wires, poor lighting, and defective stairs.
When Should You Contact a Premise Liability Attorney?
If you have been injured on someone else’s property due to the owner's negligence, it is crucial to understand when to seek legal guidance. You should contact a premise liability attorney as soon as possible after the incident, especially if you have suffered significant injuries. Timely legal advice can be critical for preserving evidence and building a strong case. Consider reaching out to a personal injury lawyer if your situation involves any of the following:
- Serious Injury - If you have sustained injuries that require medical treatment, result in lost wages, or cause significant pain and suffering.
- Complex Liability - When it is unclear who is at fault, or if the property owner denies responsibility for the unsafe conditions.
- Insurance Disputes - If you are having difficulty dealing with the property owner’s insurance company or if they have offered a settlement that seems too low.
- Specific Incident Types - This includes slip and fall accidents, injuries from inadequate security, or a pedestrian accident caused by poorly maintained sidewalks or parking lots.
