Filing Your Liability Claims

When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, the owner may be legally responsible for the injury. If you have suffered an injury on property owned by someone else, you may be able to file a claim to recover the costs involved to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain, distress and any other suffering. Our personal injury lawyers at Bendall & Mednick are here to help you get the compensation you deserve.

To win this type of claim, the plaintiff must prove that the property owners either failed to maintain the property, created unsafe conditions which caused the injury, knew about the unsafe hazard but did not alert visitors or tenants to this fact, were not careful concerning unsafe conditions which might attract children or took actions or neglected conditions that caused damage to a neighboring property. These cases can usually end up being a battle over who knew what about the hazard and when.

Common Premises Liability Cases

  • Dog bites or maulings
  • Exposure to toxic or hazardous substances, i.e. lead
  • Slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents
Slip-and-Fall Injuries

Slip-and-Fall Injuries

Slipping or tripping can be embarrassing but also cause serious injuries. If such an accident has occurred on another person's property, they may be liable for your injury. In a slip-and-fall claim, plaintiffs generally must prove that the property owners either failed to maintain the property or created unsafe conditions which caused the injury, or knew about the dangerous premises or unsafe hazard but didn't alert visitors or tenants to this fact.

In some instances, the plaintiff must also show that they were unaware of the hazard and did not have an opportunity to be informed of it. It is also important whether or not the unsafe condition was permanent or temporary. In instances where it was temporary, the length of time it existed may have affect your ability to prove your case.
Dog Bite Liability

Dog Bite Liability

Every year, more than 4.7 million people in the United States are bitten by dogs. If you have been bitten, you know how traumatic this type of injury can be. Over 750,000 of these bites are serious enough to require medical attention. Dog owners may be liable for injuries caused by their pets under certain circumstances.

Your ability to recover compensation in this situation depends on many factors, including where you were bitten or attacked. Laws concerning dog bites and the resulting personal injuries can vary between states, counties and cities. Our lawyers are available to assist you in determining your rights under these various laws, as well as help with your insurance claims and requests for compensation.
