Premises Liability - Caress Worland Law Group

If you were injured in a fall or other accident on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to financial compensation under Indiana’s law of premises liability. Under the law of premises liability, property owners have a legal obligation to identify and address hazardous conditions that have the potential to lead to accident-related injuries. This includes everything from trip hazards on construction sites to slippery sidewalks in front of stores and restaurants.

Regardless of how and where you were injured, if you are in pain and facing mounting expenses, you owe it to yourself to speak with an experienced attorney. Contact our trusted and skilled Indianapolis Premises Liability Lawyers today for a free initial consultation about your case involving:

Attractive nuisance (open access to a swimming pool or construction site)
Building or safety code violation
Elevator or escalator malfunction
Hidden dangers on private property
Inadequate ice or snow removal
Inadequate security
Negligent property maintenance
Premises in disrepair
Unprotected slip hazards (such as spills or recently-cleaned floors)
Unsafe construction

Q: When can a business be held liable for inadequate security?

In most cases, inadequate security claims involve situations where someone becomes the victim of a crime on a business’ premises. If the business owner has knowledge of prior criminal activity, yet fails to take appropriate measures to protect customers or guests, then anyone who is injured in a theft, physical or sexual assault, or other criminal act can seek financial compensation from the business.

Q: What are some examples of maintenance issues that can support premises liability claims?

Maintenance issues range from failing to replace worn or damaged flooring materials to failing to inspect elevators and escalators on a routine basis. If you slipped or tripped in a store, office building, airport, recreational facility, entertainment venue, hospital, private residence, or any other third-party premises, we encourage you to contact our Indianapolis Premises Liability Law Firm about filing a claim for financial compensation.

Q: What are my rights if I was injured in a fall at work?

If you fell at work, you may be limited to filing for workers’ compensation, but you may also be entitled to full financial compensation from the owner of the building or job site where you were injured. If you fell due to a dangerous property condition, the property owner, a property management company, and various other third parties could all potentially be liable for your injuries.

Q: What should I do after sustaining injuries in a fall?

If you have recently sustained injuries in a fall on someone else’s property, you need to make smart decisions in order to protect your claim for financial compensation. To protect your legal rights, you should:

See a doctor promptly (and follow your doctor’s advice)
Take photos of your injuries and any damage to your clothes or personal items
Keep any clothes or personal items that were damaged in the fall
Write down as many details as you can remember about the accident
