How Do I Know If I'm Eligible For Compensation in A Premise Liability Lawsuit?
In order to be eligible for compensation, simply being hurt is not enough. Your attorney needs to prove that negligence occurred in the safety or upkeep of the property. In Oklahoma, damages are capped in premises liability cases where the property in question is a municipally held sidewalk.
What Is The Most Common Premise Liability Accident?
Falls are a leading cause of serious injury. Slip-and-falls and trip-and-falls often occur as a result of unsafe conditions or poor maintenance on or inside of a property.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Wet and slippery floors
- Wrinkled carpets
- Uneven floors
- Cracked sidewalks and pavement
- Poorly lit hallways and stairwells
- Objects cluttering a walkway
What Are The Most Common Injuries Sustained In A Premise Liability Case?
The most common injury in accidents involving a trip or a slip is trauma to the hands, which occurs when you try to catch yourself mid-fall. Other injuries that can occur in slip and fall accidents are:
- Brain injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue damage, especially to tendons and ligaments in the hands and feet
Many people feel embarrassed after a fall. Few realize that the injuries they sustain could be the result of negligence, and that they have may have recourse to compensation through a premises liability lawsuit.
Does Negligent Security Fall Under A Premise Liability Lawsuit?
Safety takes many forms. In addition to maintenance and cleanliness, property owners are also responsible for keeping guests safe from acts of violent crime. Failure to do so can result in muggings, robbery, physical assaults, sexual violence, and – in the worst case – murder.
Property owners are obligated to take reasonable precautions to prevent crime on the premises. You may be able to sue for negligent security if your injuries resulted from:
- Inadequate lighting
- Broken locks on doors and windows
- Unlocked gates and doors
- Lack of surveillance cameras and security alarms
- Inadequate security presence
- Failure to perform criminal background checks when hiring employees
If you or a loved one suffered serious injury because a property owner failed to provide sufficient security, Johnson & Biscone will review your case for free. Contact a premises liability lawyer today.
What Happens If A Bystander Is Injured At A Construction Site?
In the majority of cases, workers injured on the job at a construction site have recourse to benefits through the workers’ compensation system. However, in instances where a non-worker is injured on a construction site, or a third-party’s negligence injured a worker or bystander, Johnson & Biscone, P.A. can pursue a construction accident claim.
- Tools and other falling objects
- Ladder and scaffolding accidents
- Falls
- Equipment injury
- Collisions with heavy machinery
- Electrocution
The only way to know for sure if you need to file a claim and/or go to court for injuries sustained in a construction accident is to speak to an experienced attorney. Our lawyers will carefully evaluate the circumstances and extent of your injury, then discuss next steps.
