Connecticut Premises Liability Attorney
Icy conditions or liquid substances are not the only cause of falls and injuries on property due to negligence of another person. Property owners are obligated to maintain their premises in a safe condition. This responsibility includes the duty to warn residents and visitors of any hazards on the property and to take reasonable action to remedy dangerous conditions. Premise liability cases involve many unsafe conditions including inadequate lighting and structural defects.
We understand you may be faced with medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Our staff has the experience, knowledge, and skill to make sure the insurance company fully pays for your injuries and losses.
What Is Premises Liability?
If you suffer an injury on someone else’s property in Connecticut, the laws of premises liability will govern your case. Premises liability describes a property owner’s legal responsibility for the care and maintenance of a property.
Legally, property owners in Connecticut must use reasonable care in maintaining safe premises. This is the same degree of care that a prudent property owner would use in similar circumstances. If a property owner fails in this regard, meaning he or she does not use the required amount of care, he or she will be financially responsible for a victim’s related injuries.
Property owners can be held responsible for:
- Failing to maintain safe conditions
- Failing to inspect the premises
- Failing to ensure there was adequate staff training and supervision
- And countless variations of these issues
