Should you be injured while visiting someone else’s property, you might be entitled to compensation. If the injury was caused by the property owner’s failure to prevent a situation like those listed in the section above, your first step is to explore a legal claim against the homeowner’s insurance policy.
Filing a homeowner’s claim can be difficult to do on your own. Unlike in car accident situations, people aren’t used to giving out their policy number after someone is hurt on their property. They may instantly begin trying to mount a legal defense against liability the moment their homeowner’s policy information is requested. Because of this, it is almost always prudent to protect your own legal interests by contacting an experienced premises liability lawyer in your area.
