Premises Liability
Premises Liability cases arise from injuries occurring in residential and commercial buildings because of defects, failure to maintain the premises in a safe manner, and inadequate security, including:
- shopping centers
- supermarkets
- parking facilities
- hotels and casinos
- amusement parks
- stadiums
- airports
- healthcare facilities
- nightclubs and bars
- universities and public schools
- apartment complexes
The general rule of law is that the owner or operator of the premises has a duty to keep the premises in reasonably safe condition, or at least warn customers of a dangerous condition of which the owner or operator either causes, knows about, or should know about. When you are seriously injured as a result of dangerous condition upon premises, then you may have the right to seek compensation for the resulting loss.
Typical premises liability cases involve slip and fall injuries and being injured by falling objects. However, we also represent client injured while being the victim of a crime, such as a robbery or assault, which may have been facilitated by inadequate security, observation, and lighting. Contact an experienced Philadelphia premises liability lawyer and schedule a free, confidential consultation to discuss your claim.
Construction Site Accidents
Construction is the United States' largest industry, and unfortunately, construction site accidents kill and injure thousands of workers each year. Despite legal and trade provisions in place to prevent construction accidents, one out of every ten construction workers suffer some kind of on the job injury, including:
- falls
- scaffolding, crane, derrick, conveyor, ladder, winch, grater, scraper, backhoe, and boiler accidents
- electric shock
- trench collapse
- fire and explosion
- highway vehicle accidents
- compressed gases accidents
- welding accidents
Although most injured workers will be entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits, these benefits will not cover all of the expenses faced by an injured worker and generally do not cover pain and suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved ones of a worker who is killed in an accident. If a construction site accident is the result of a defective product, for instance, we can pursue a third party civil claim for damages above and beyond worker's compensation benefits. An experienced construction site attorney will examine your accident from every angle to determine all avenues of potential liability.
