Dangerous Building Conditions

Premises liability is a critical area of law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe environment for visitors. At Awad Baker Law, we understand that injuries resulting from unsafe conditions can have a significant impact on your life. If you've been hurt due to negligence on someone else's property, our experienced attorneys can help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

The law recognizes that property owners and occupiers have a duty of care to different types of visitors:

• Invitees: Such as customers in a store, are owed the highest duty of care, requiring owners to actively inspect, maintain, and repair hazards.

• Licensees: Like social guests, must be warned about any known hazards on the property.

If you were injured as an invitee or licensee due to a property owner's failure to uphold their duty of care, Awad Baker Law can help.

Common Causes of Premises Liability Claims We Handle:

• Slip and Falls: Resulting from wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poorly lit areas, ice, or snow.

• Falling Objects: Injuries caused by unsecured items or debris falling from shelves or structures.

• Inadequate Maintenance: Injuries due to broken stairs, faulty handrails, potholes, or other structural issues.

• Defective Conditions: Harm caused by hazards like exposed wiring, poorly maintained elevators, or dangerous building flaws.

• Negligent Security: Injuries resulting from insufficient security measures leading to assaults or other crimes on the property.

• Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning or other injuries due to lack of proper fencing, supervision, or safety measures.
