Proactive Representation For Injured Plaintiffs And Defendant Landlords
A slip and fall or trip and fall is a particular type of premises liability accident that can seriously injure an unsuspecting visitor and expose a landlord to crushing liability. At Noel & Bonebrake, our personal injury lawyers have handled every type of premises liability case imaginable over the course of many years, representing slip and fall victims, businesses, and homeowners alike. The knowledge we have acquired working on both sides of these cases empowers us to help injured clients get full, fair compensation and to defend landlords from unjustified claims. No matter which side of the dispute you are on, when you retain our firm, you can rely on our honest assessment of your case and our determination to protect your interests.
Generally speaking, a landlord has a duty to make premises reasonably safe for visitors. This duty extends to hidden hazards, which a landlord must act reasonably to discover and remedy. Questions that often arise include:
- Was the hazard hidden or open and obvious?
- Did the landlord act reasonably to warn of the hazard or remove it?
- Did the landlord have enough time after the creation of the hazard to learn of it and correct it?
- Did the victim assume the risk of a hazardous condition?
These are questions of fact that a judge or jury must answer. It’s your personal injury attorney’s job to make sure all pertinent evidence is presented in a manner that supports your interpretation of events.
