Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability refers to the legal duty of care that property owners owe to visitors. If they cause an accident through their negligence, they may be liable for certain damages. Property owners can be held liable for slip-and-falls, inadequate security, dog bites, and other dangerous scenarios. If you have sustained an injury on someone else’s property, it is vital that you understand your legal rights. Our Alabama personal injury lawyers will do everything possible to ensure you receive the appropriate compensation for your losses.

Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe for guests and visitors. It is their duty to inspect their properties, repair any hazardous conditions or malfunctions, and warn guests about any potential onsite dangers.

In order to prove that the property owner was negligent, our team will gather evidence, consult with eyewitnesses, and work with experts to get to the bottom of the causes behind your injuries.

What Are The Potential Damages In A Premises Liability Lawsuit?

In a premises liability case, injured parties can seek compensation in the form of damages, both economic and non-economic. These are awarded monetarily to offset financial losses as well as to make up for the devastating emotional consequences of a serious injury. Damages related to a premises liability lawsuit may include:

Medical Expenses

This encompasses all present and future medical bills, surgeries, hospitalizations, physical therapy, medications, and other related costs.

Lost Wages

If you have been unable to work due to an accident on someone else’s premises, these damages can help make up for missed paychecks. You may also be entitled to damages connected with loss of future earnings.

Pain And Suffering

Chronic physical pain after an accident can bring intense mental and emotional anguish. These damages are non-tangible and are based on the degree to which the accident has impacted your life.

Property Damage

If you had personal items that were damaged in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for these losses.

Punitive Damages

If the property owner’s actions are deemed willful, wanton, or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded. Rather than being aimed at compensating the victim, these damages are strictly meant to punish the liable party and deter others from committing similar acts in the future.

Navigating the legal system by yourself after a dog bite, slip-and-fall, or other accident can be confusing and exhausting. By hiring an experienced premises liability lawyer at Heninger Garrison Davis in Alabama, you are ensuring that the correct damages will be assessed in your case and that you have the chance of receiving the maximum compensation you need and deserve to move forward with the healing process after a serious accident on someone else’s property.

Proving Negligence In A Premises Liability Case

In a premises liability case, our legal team must prove that the property owner failed to uphold their duty of care. In other words, we will need to demonstrate how the owner failed to take essential steps to protect your safety, such as not fixing hazardous conditions, not warning visitors of potential dangers onsite, or not hiring the proper security.

In order to prove negligence, we may do the following:

Gather evidence, including photographs, video recordings, transcripts, and more
Interview witnesses
Obtain expert testimony from medical specialists
Work with accident reconstruction experts

Through these actions, we will strive to prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the potentially hazardous conditions on their premises and that they did not take action to ensure your safety.

Prevailing in a premises liability case requires specialized knowledge of Alabama law and specific expertise in these types of personal injury cases. Our firm has a track record of excellence when it comes to taking on the toughest cases and we will fight for you to claim the maximum in damages.

What Is The Deadline For Filing A Premises Liability Case?

In Alabama, claimants have two years from the date of the accident to file, according to the state’s statute of limitations. Failing to file within this time frame could result in not being able to claim the damages you need and deserve. Additionally, if you wait too long, it can be more difficult to build a strong case, as witness memories may fade, and getting access to surveillance video and other evidence may become more difficult. This is why it is critical that you speak with one of our dedicated personal injury lawyers in Alabama today.

Our team at Heninger Garrison Davis will immediately spring into action, completing all the necessary legal steps to prove duty of care, liability, and the link between the property owner’s negligence and your accident. We will communicate with insurance companies and third parties on your behalf and, if a fair and favorable settlement is not reached, we can take your case to court.
