Injured On Someone Else’s Property In California?
When we leave the house, we trust that the places we go, the stores, restaurants, shopping malls, and theaters, will be safe. All property owners have a duty to keep guests and visitors safe from harm while under their care, but when they fail in this regard, this negligence can result in serious accidents and injuries.
We often think of negligence as reckless driving, or a doctor mixing up prescriptions, but negligence can be as simple as a puddle left unattended on a store floor or unsafe wiring in a hotel room. Holding property owners and business operators responsible for resulting injuries requires making a specific type of injury claim: a premises liability claim.
Here at Nordstrom, Steele, Nicolette and Blythe, our premises liability lawyers are dedicated to fighting for the rights of individuals like you, who were injured on another’s property due to negligent security, unsafe or dangerous property conditions, and other negligent acts.
Your California Premises Liability Lawyers
When you have been hurt on someone else’s property, they are unlikely to admit responsibility or pay you what you deserve. Their insurance company will be advising them to put the blame on you, or trying to trick you into accepting a rapid settlement for a fraction of what your injuries are really going to cost.
To keep from being taken advantage of and ensure that justice is done and you receive fair compensation, you will need a strong premises injury lawyer.
Nordstrom, Steele, Nicolette and Blythe is a premier California personal injury law firm, whose dedication to these kinds of cases makes us a strong choice for taking on even the toughest claim.
Our premises liability attorneys have successfully handled countless claims against negligent property owners, including those filed after slip-and-fall accidents, negligent security, and poorly maintained property. We are proud of these results because each one represents a life put back on track and an injustice we were able to hold someone accountable for.
What Kinds Of Incidents And Injuries Can Result In A Premises Liability Claim?
While accidents can take many forms, and no two injuries are alike, some patterns start to emerge after over 40 years of working on personal injury cases throughout California.
Among the most common are slip-and-fall injuries. Simple circumstances like oil on the floor or uneven footing can lead to a fall. While a fall might be harmless for most customers or visitors, all it takes is falling wrong, knocking your head on something, or falling while in a fragile physical condition to turn a stumble into a life-changing injury.
Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, back injuries, and more can result from slip and fall incidents, requiring significant medical expenses and economic compensation.
Other premises liability accidents and injuries can include:
- Electrocutions caused by unsafe wiring,
- Burns from fire hazards,
- Crushing or serious tissue damage from elevator or escalator accidents,
- Poisonings from toxic chemical exposures,
- Drownings in swimming pools,
- Assaults due to insufficient security,
These are just some of the examples of negligent behavior and the terrible losses they can cause. If you or someone you love has been hurt on someone else’s property, and negligence may be involved, contact our premises injury lawyers immediately.
