What Constitutes a Premises Liability Claim in Egan?
When evaluating your case, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will use the standard of negligence. It will help us determine if you have grounds to pursue a premises liability case. This standard comprises:
- The property owner owed you a duty of care: Those who own property in Louisiana must rid the premises of hazards. The duty of care requires the property owner to act reasonably. This means taking steps to identify and remove hazards from the property in question.
- The property owner violated their duty of care: If someone who is legally invited on the property suffers harm because of a hazard, then the property owner has probably violated their duty of care to the invitee.
- The violation of duty caused you harm: If you’ve suffered injuries or lost a loved one, you’ve suffered damages. It’s our job to determine which forms you’ve suffered and what they have cost you.
Virtually every property owner in Louisiana is subject to premises liability statutes. Business owners, governments (including Acadia Parish), homeowners, apartment complexes, and landlords are among those subject to premises liability rules.
We want to hear the specific details of your case. Once we have the facts, we can provide all the necessary information about your pursuing claim.
