Premises Liability
Premises Liability
Every owner or occupier of property may be legally responsible for injuries occurring on the property. For example, severe injuries can be caused by falling merchandise in "big box" retail stores, defective rides at amusement parks, assaults caused by inadequate parking lot security, slips and falls, dog and other animal attacks, and dangerous conditions in homes. As a general rule, the law favors the property owner; therefore, it is critical that an injured person hire an experienced attorney.
