How a Forked Island Premises Liability Lawyer Can Help

Far too many premises liability victims end up suffering far more substantially than they need to. This is, in part, because many injury victims hesitate to contact a lawyer for help.

If you are unsure whether you could benefit from a premises liability attorney, consider the various ways a lawyer could help you recover the compensation you deserve:

  • Your premises liability attorney will open up an investigation into the cause of your injuries and gather compelling evidence needed to establish fault.
  • Your premises liability lawyer in Fork Island will go over your damages in extensive detail to ensure you seek the compensation that is rightfully yours.
  • Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company and present a powerful case in court so you can pursue fair compensation for your damages.

Different Premises Liability Accidents Can Lead to a Claim or Lawsuit

There are many different ways in which premises liability accidents can occur. Generally, accidents of this nature occur on someone else’s property due to the property owner’s negligent actions.

Here are some of the most common types of premises liability accidents you may be able to sue for:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents most frequently occur when there are wet floors, snow or ice, debris in the walkway, broken pavement, unsecured carpeting, loose floorboards, or other hazards in the walkways.

Dog Bites

Dog owners have a responsibility to ensure that their pets are under their control at all times. Louisiana is a strict liability state for dog bites, meaning dog owners will be held accountable for the actions of their dogs, whether or not they have a prior propensity towards aggression or violence.

Swimming Pool Accidents

When property owners fail to install fencing around their pools as required by law, or if they otherwise fail to ensure their pool is only accessible to invited guests or patrons, they can be held accountable for injuries that occur in swimming pool accidents.

Trampoline Accidents

Trampoline accidents have been known to cause devastating and severe injuries. Property owners may be accused of creating a public nuisance if they fail to secure their premises, allowing or even encouraging others to access property that may not be safe.

Negligent Security or Improper Maintenance

If a property owner fails to take necessary security measures or make necessary repairs to a business or home, and someone suffers a serious injury or illness as a result of this action, they could be open to a premises liability lawsuit.

Fault in Premises Liability Claims

In the vast majority of premises liability cases, property owners are held accountable for injury victims’ damages. This is, in part, because property owners owe their guests a duty of care.

They have an obligation to ensure their premises are safe and hazard-free at all times. However, there are some instances in which property owners may not be liable for a victim’s injuries.

The Open and Obvious Doctrine

The open and obvious doctrine refers to instances where someone may have suffered a serious injury due to conditions that may have been considered open and obvious to any other reasonable person.

For example, if there was a bright yellow wet floor sign marked nearest spilled beverage in a restaurant, and someone tripped near this spill, the open and obvious doctrine would allow the property owner to avoid liability.

Trespassing, Provocation, and Criminal Activity

Property owners also only owe a duty of care to people they invite on their property. If someone is trespassing or committing criminal activity, they may be unlikely to recover compensation from the property owner.

In dog bite claims, if the injury victim provoked the dog into acting aggressively, the dog’s owner may also be excluded from liability.

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

What Is Your Forked Island Premises Liability Claim Worth?

To figure out how much your premises liability claim is worth in Forked Island, your attorney will need to closely examine how your life has been affected by your injuries. You have the right to be made whole if another party’s negligence caused your injuries.

This means you could be compensated for your economic damages and non-economic damages accordingly. Economic damages are monetary and non-economic damages that describe the ways your life has been turned upside down by your injuries.

Some types of damages you could seek as part of your premises liability claim include:

  • Current and future medical expenses, including co-pays, prescription medications, costs of mental health counseling, diagnostic imaging fees, cost of physical or occupational therapies, medical equipment, hospital bills, and ambulance fees, among others
  • Loss of love, society, companionship, protection, guidance, support, and advice
  • Loss of potential future earnings, including bonuses, contributions to your 401(k) or other retirement savings program, and salary increases, as well as your current loss of income
  • Diminished quality of life, skin scarring, and disfigurement

Our wrongful death lawyers can also help if you lost a loved one in the accident.
