Premises Liabilities

If property owners and managers fail to take reasonable safety precautions with their property—such as putting up a warning sign alerting visitors about wet floors—then they may be held liable to compensate someone for accidents and personal injury.

Common forms of premises liability include:

• Slip / trip & fall accidents
• Dog bites
• Negligent / lack of security
• Attractive nuisance

​Trusted Advocates for Victims of Dangerous Conditions
The phrase “slip and fall accident” doesn’t seem too serious until you’ve suffered one. In fact, experienced premises liability lawyers know that slip, trip, or fall accidents can be very serious, even fatal. Hundreds of Wisconsin residents and workers suffer back injuries and broken bones every year because of slip and fall and other accidents in poorly maintained buildings or dangerous premises.

If you can answer “yes” to any of the following questions, or if these resemble your accident, then contact a premises liability attorney to discuss your entitlement to compensation:

• Did you suffer head or neck injuries when merchandise fell on you in a warehouse store?
• Did you fall down stairs because of a frayed carpet, a broken or missing handrail, or burned-out light bulbs in a stairwell?
• Did you slip on built-up ice around a doorway or water that pooled under a leaking ceiling?
• Were you injured by a defective elevator or escalator?
• Were you assaulted in a secure apartment complex that wasn’t under proper surveillance?
• Did your child suffer a near-drowning or a drowning in a pool that he or she should never have been able to access but for a broken lock or missing gate?
