Complex legal standards apply in premises liability cases

It's not enough to be injured on a property to have a premises liability case. In order to successfully claim damages, you need a premises liability attorney to help you prove one of the following:

1. The property owner created the dangerous condition that led to your injury; or
2. The property owner knew about the dangerous condition that led to your injury and did not address it; or
3. The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition but did not take action to address it.

The third of those conditions is the most commonly argued in premises liability cases, and it's also usually the most difficult to prove. That's why it's so important to put an experienced attorney on your side as soon as possible after a premises liability injury. Evidence disappears. Memories fade. Building a strong case takes time, and you need to get started right away.
