8 Things To Do After A Premise Liability Accident
From staying safe at the scene
to securing the compensation you deserve,
find out what to do after a premise liability accident.
How We Build Your Case
THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION
We examine the local property, interview witnesses, and secure surveillance footage to prove fault in your premise liability case
COMPREHENSIVE CASE
MANAGEMENT
We manage medical records, insurance negotiations, and deadlines to keep your premise liability claim on track.
AGGRESSIVE NEGOTIATION
AND LITIGATION
We fight for a fair settlement, taking insurers to court if needed for your premise liability compensation.
No Fees Unless We Win
Premise Liability Lawsuits Need at least Three Things.
The first requirement is showing that the property owner or manager failed to address a hazardous condition. Examples of negligence include:
Wet floors without warning signs
Broken stairs, railings, or lighting
Poor maintenance in parking lots or common areas
Failure to provide adequate security in high-risk areas
In short, the responsible party knew—or should have known—about a danger and didn’t fix it.
You must be able to prove that the unsafe condition caused you some form of harm. This can include:
Physical injuries such as broken bones, sprains, or head trauma
Medical expenses or lost wages
Emotional distress or permanent disability
Without real damages, there’s no legal basis for compensation. Medical records and documentation are key.
Finally, you must connect the dots. You’ll need to show that the dangerous condition—not some unrelated factor—directly caused your injury. For example, if a broken step caused you to fall and fracture your wrist, your case would need to clearly establish that link.

Premise Liability
Injury Types
Fractures
Broken bones often result from slips, trips, or falls on unsafe property. These injuries can involve the wrists, ankles, or hips and usually require casting, surgery, or rehabilitation.
Head Injuries
When someone falls or is struck by an object, head injuries like concussions or traumatic brain injuries can occur. These may lead to confusion, nausea, or long-term cognitive issues.
Spinal Injuries
Falls on hard surfaces or down stairs can damage the spine. Injuries may range from herniated discs to more serious spinal cord trauma that can impact mobility.
Lacerations
Sharp objects, broken glass, or jagged flooring can cause deep cuts. Some lacerations require stitches and may result in permanent scarring or infection if untreated.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Muscle strains, ligament sprains, and bruising are common in premises liability cases. These injuries can be painful and limit daily activities even when no bones are broken.
Burns or Electric Shock
Faulty wiring, exposed appliances, or unsafe heating systems can lead to burns or electrical injuries, particularly in residential or commercial buildings.
Types of Premise
Liability Cases
Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet floors, loose rugs, or uneven surfaces are common causes of slip and falls. These incidents often happen in stores, offices, or apartment complexes.
Trip and Fall Accidents
Uneven sidewalks, cluttered walkways, or poorly maintained flooring can cause someone to trip and fall, leading to injury and potential liability for the property owner.
Negligent Security
When a property owner fails to provide adequate lighting, locks, or surveillance, they may be held responsible for assaults, thefts, or other crimes that occur on-site.
Dog Bites
If a dog attacks a guest or passerby, the property owner or dog owner may be liable for medical bills and other damages—even if the dog had no history of aggression.
Falling Objects
Improperly secured shelves, construction equipment, or signage can fall and injure guests. Property owners are responsible for keeping items safely secured.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Lack of fences, supervision, or warning signs can lead to drownings or serious injuries—especially involving children. Pool owners are held to a high safety standard.
