Premises Liability Lawyers in Greensboro, NC

Dog Bite Lawsuits

Dog owners have a duty to control their pets. If someone does not contain an aggressive animal and you are bitten, you could be scarred for life physically and emotionally. Holding the person responsible for not securing the aggressive dog can be difficult. Having a dog bite lawyer on your side can help.

Burn Injury Lawyers

Burns can be caused by a variety of serious accidents and may result in severe skin and tissue damage in some cases. If a property owner has the opportunity to prevent an accident that may lead to a burn injury on their grounds, but neglects to take the necessary action, they may be held liable for injuries caused by their inaction. In these situations, the injured party may be entitled to hold a property owner financially accountable for the medical expenses incurred as a result of an otherwise avoidable incident.

Poor Security Premises Liability

If you were physically harmed or sexually assaulted while on someone else’s property, they may be liable for your injuries due to inadequate security, negligent security, or lack of security. You could receive compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, or emotional trauma. Instances of poor security premises liability cases can occur in apartment buildings, hotels, motels, shops, parking lots or garages, office buildings, banks, ATM machines, and even homes.

Property Neglect Cases

In North Carolina, owners of commercial and residential buildings have a responsibility to maintain their buildings and property in a reasonably safe manner. This duty applies to areas inside a building, such as stairways, lobbies, apartments, and ceilings. It also applies to the property surrounding the exterior of a building, such as sidewalks, walkways, courtyards and driveways. Unfortunately, many owners neglect to maintain their buildings and property, allowing them to fall into disrepair and become dangerous.

Determining Damages in a Greensboro Premises Liability Case

A plaintiff is only awarded compensation for damages if he or she is able to successfully prove that a property owner was legally liable for the injuries suffered. Once liability is proven, the amount of economic and non-economic damages must be determined. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and any cost of future medical care. Non-economic damages consist of pain and suffering. Our experienced premises liability attorneys can help ensure that you recover fair compensation for your injuries caused by a property owner’s negligence.
