Premises Liability
It has been our experience that landowners may be responsible for injuries occurring on their property, especially when a dangerous or foreseen hazard is present. At the request of our attorney clients, a considerable amount of our technical effort is spent evaluating such hazardous conditions with respect to building code mandates, accessibility standards (for diabled persons), and general lack of adequate site maintenance. It is estimated, we have analyzed well over 1,000 sites for both Plaintiff and Defense Attorneys and property owners for purposes of assisting in premises liability litigation.
Examples of premises liability cases we have participated in as experts include swimming pool-related injuries (often resulting in significant disabilities or death), inadequate property maintenance and lack of maintenance records in commercial facilities, lack of adequate risk management protocols, elevator and escalator injuries, and a great deal of slip and fall/trip accidents, of which a considerable number result from slippery bathroom floors.
