PREMISES LIABILITY

Injuries occur every day as a result of property that is not safely maintained. A slip and fall can cause serious, and sometimes, long-term or permanent disability. Whether you have suffered a loss as a result of improper security at a place of business or simply fallen on a defect in a sidewalk or floor, we can help.

A property owner’s responsibility can arise from a sidewalk or parking lot that is in disrepair, a torn rug inside a building or a falling ceiling. It can also be based upon a walkway that is not marked to draw the attention of a person who is about to walk on it, as required by local codes.

Another significant aspect of premises liability is negligent security. When a business is of a nature that it creates an environment that puts its customers at risk, they can be liable if they have not taken reasonable efforts to provide for their customer’s safety. Whether in a casino, night club, bar, or remote parking area of a local shopping mall, the businesses that invite you to spend your hard earned money at their establishments owe a duty to you to keep their premises reasonably safe.

And, let's not forget the risk from construction zones. Many pedestrians are injured each year where urban construction overlaps private property on sidewalks and streets. The interplay between private, public and local governments can make these difficult cases to pursue. At Ginsburg & Associates, we recognize that multiple experts are often needed to determine fault and establish appropriate damages for severe injury.
