How do premises liability cases arise?

At Russell & Hill – Injury & Accident Attorneys, our attorneys have an extensive track record of success handling premises liability claims. Every investigation is crucial to assembling a solid case, regardless of whether or not the incident ends up being resolved through insurance carriers or through a personal injury lawsuit. There are various ways that these cases arise in and around our area. Some of the most common causes of premises liability accident injuries include the following:

• Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents: The most common cause of premises liability injuries are slip and fall accidents that occur due to the following:
  • Spills or leaks that have not been cleaned up
  • Debris not removed from pedestrian walkways
  • Discarded merchandise causing a tripping hazard
  • Electrical cords across the floor ways
  • Recently mopped or waxed floors
  • No handrails on stairways
  • Uneven walking surfaces
• Poor overall property maintenance: Property owners are required to inspect and maintain their premises at all times to prevent hazards, some of which include:
  • Cracks or potholes in sidewalks and pavement
  • Faulty electrical work
  • Store shelves or displays from falling
  • Furniture collapse
• Inadequate security: All property owners should ensure that they have adequate security measures in place to protect patrons, though security measures will vary depending on the type of establishment. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:
  • Adequate lighting in all guest areas
  • Functional locks on windows and doors
  • Proper check-in or check-out procedures
  • Working surveillance equipment
  • Security patrols when necessary
• Swimming pools or hot tubs: Swimming pool and hot tub accidents can be devastating. These areas must be properly supervised and maintained and have a fence with a locking gate surrounding them to prevent children from wandering into the water.
