Premises Negligence

Understanding Your Rights and Seeking Justice

Premises negligence cases are the second most common cause of injury after transportation-related accidents. All Property owners, including stores, public facilities, government buildings, and residential homes must make sure that their property is reasonably safe and warn the public of any known dangers on the property. Serious or even catastrophic injuries can occur due to owner negligence.

Our Approach to Premises Negligence Cases

At Coffey McPharlin, we understand the devastating impact that premises negligence injuries can have on victims and their families. Our approach to these cases involves a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, and building a strong case to prove the property owner’s negligence. We work hard to obtain the compensation victims need after accidents like these.

Gathering Evidence

Evidence is crucial in premises negligence cases. Our team will collect photographs of the accident scene, obtain witness statements, and review medical records. We may also work with experts to reconstruct the accident and determine how the property owner’s negligence led to your injuries.

Building a Strong Case

Proving negligence requires showing that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. We will gather all necessary evidence to demonstrate the property owner’s liability and the extent of your damages.

Seeking Maximum Compensation

Our goal is to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries. This includes covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages you have incurred. We will negotiate with insurance companies and, if necessary, take your case to court to ensure you receive the justice you deserve.

The Importance of Prompt Legal Action

In premises negligence and premise liability cases, time is of the essence. Evidence can quickly disappear, and there are statutes of limitations that restrict the time you have to file a claim. Contacting a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury can help ensure that your case is handled efficiently and effectively.
