Maryland Premises Liability Lawyer

Premises Liability Cases in Maryland

A premises liability case is more commonly referred to as a “slip and fall” and occurs on a property where a negligent condition existed. These types of cases are very diverse and occur at myriad locations, such as shopping centers, supermarkets, restaurants, and parking lots.
Other common examples of premises liability cases can include:

• Slip, trip, and falls
• Work-related accidents
• Negligent security
• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Swimming pool accidents

As opposed to motor vehicle accidents or other types of personal injury cases, there are additional legal “hurdles” that apply to premises liability cases. These obstacles are notoriously complex, and it is advised that you speak with a qualified legal professional who is well-versed in this area of law to ensure your case is handled correctly.

Property Owners Have a Duty to Protect You From Harm

When you are invited onto someone else’s property as a guest, an employee, or a business invitee, you have a reasonable expectation to do so without any threat of harm. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner that is free of hazards. If a property owner fails to fulfill this obligation, they can be held liable for any injuries or deaths that occur as a result of this negligence.

Examples of hazards that should be addressed include:

• Icy walkways and sidewalks
• Snags on carpets
• Poorly-lit parking lots or alleys
• Falling objects
• Ignored debris
• Unrestrained animals

The Importance of Working with a Skilled Legal Professional

Unfortunately, in today’s climate, insurance companies tend to devalue your personal injury claim and limit the amount of your settlement. That is why it is critical you choose an experienced legal advocate who knows how to maximize the value of your accident case, protect your rights, and fight the insurance companies for what you deserve.
