If you have been injured on someone else's property because of negligent or dangerous property conditions, you are entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future losses, mental anguish, and pain and suffering. These types of cases are often known as slip and fall or premises liability claims.

The attorneys at KO have represented thousands of people injured in premises liability cases, including:

Slip and fall accidents
Trip and fall accidents
Injuries resulting from falling merchandise
Dog bites
Negligent security, such as rapes and assaults occurring in commercial buildings or parking lots

Aggressive Pursuit of Premises Liability Claims

Recently, our slip & fall attorneys successfully sued a property owner for failing to maintain safe premises during a youth-group related function. Because of the lack of supervision, a six-year old boy permanently lost vision in one eye when a piano crushed him. Although the settlement is confidential, the parents of the boy and the firm were extremely pleased with the recovery.

Owners and managers of private and commercial property are responsible for maintaining the property in a reasonably safe condition to prevent injuries because of negligent security and accidents. This means that property owners are legally required to clean up spills, provide well-lit walkways, prevent elevator accidents, comply with all state, county and municipal codes, and to put up signs warning of any potential hazard.

Compensation for Slip & Fall Victims

A successful premises liability lawsuit will compensate the victim and also protect others in the community from dangerous property conditions. Our premises liability lawyers will seek to prove that the property owner was negligent. We will speak to possible witnesses to prove negligence. For accidents occurring in commercial buildings, the best witnesses are often employees who work in those establishments and are familiar with the property conditions.
