What Acts of Negligence Cause Premises Liability Accidents?

Property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep visitors safe from foreseeable risks on their premises. Common acts of negligence we see in liability claims include:

Failure to repair hazards

Infrastructure like uneven walking surfaces, broken steps or railings, or sinking pavement left in disrepair can endanger customers and tenants.

Poor lighting

Inadequate illumination in parking lots, walkways, stairwells, or other areas used at night increases the chances of tripping or falling accidents.

Lack of safety measures

Absent handrails, guardrails, safety mats, or other protective devices where they’re needed most, like around pools or construction zones.

Failure to maintain equipment

Faulty or improperly secured furniture, fixtures, tools, and appliances left accessible can induce accidents if not properly maintained.

Spill clean-up delay

Slip and fall injuries often arise from delayed response to things like food and drink spills, debris, oil, and other slipping hazards.

Security deficiencies

Neglecting security best practices, like promptly locking doors at the close of business or addressing aggressive dog threats, enables some incidents.

By thoroughly investigating the scene, inspecting records of reported complaints, and more, our Greensboro premises liability attorneys work to show how the premises could have been safer through reasonable care. If you’re outside of Greensboro, our office is within driving distance of our Birmingham office, where our Birmingham premises liability lawyers can help you.

Damages a Premises Liability Attorney Can Recover for You

When representing injured plaintiffs, we fight endlessly for the damages you qualify for. Damages typically recoverable include:

  • Medical expenses: Funds required for surgery, hospitalization, prosthetics, prescription medications, and ongoing doctor’s visits needed to address injuries caused by dangerous conditions on the property.
  • Rehabilitation costs: Resources are required for intensive physical therapy, counseling, and specialists to help clients relearn basic life skills impaired by the negligence of a property owner.
  • Vehicle repairs: Repair bills to fix a vehicle damaged in an accident if flaws in the premises contributed to injuries preventing safe driving.
  • Lost income: Salary lost from being unable to work normal job functions during recovery from the accident or due to permanent limitations from the incident.
  • Decreased future earning capacity: Impact on promotions and career advancement or switching jobs due to new restrictions from premises-related conditions.
  • Pain and suffering: Damages for physical agony and mental anguish experienced long-term from the initial injury and its lasting effects.
  • Wrongful death: Punitive damages may be available for family members who have lost a loved one due to a property owner’s negligence or recklessness.
  • Traumatic brain injuries: Effects such as memory problems, headaches, or changes in behavior requiring lifetime care caused by negligence.
  • Spinal cord injuries: Paralysis, muscle weakness, or use of a wheelchair for mobility caused by failure to remedy risks that damaged the spinal column.
