Injuries that occur on another person’s property tend to take several forms. Some common premises liability injuries that Hempstead attorneys could help with include falls, injuries due to poor maintenance, and injuries due to inadequate security.
Depending on the circumstances, slipping and falling can be much more dangerous than some people might give it credit for. Injuries that occur due to broken or missing steps, untreated icy conditions, or hidden hazards like spilled liquids or uneven walkways could form the basis of a premises liability lawsuit.
Likewise, people who are assaulted or otherwise injured because the property owner failed to install adequate lighting or safety measures could have a premises liability lawsuit against the owner of the property. Finally, the areas and items that visitors come into contact with should be maintained in working order. If an injury results because a property owner did not do routine inspections or maintenance of the property, the owner may be liable. A dedicated attorney could help an injured victim with establishing liability.
