When a property owner is aware of a problem, such as a broken security system or a broken step, and does nothing to neither fix the problem nor let people know the problem exists, that property owner displays negligence. Our firm helps people who have been injured because of a property owner’s negligence.

• Slips, trips, and falls - Slip and falls occur in grocery stores, shopping centers, restrooms, indoors, outdoors, parking lots, and other areas. Wet surfaces, foreign objects, and improperly maintained walking surfaces can lead to falls. These falls can result in back injuries, brain injuries, and fractures.

• Dog bites - When an owner lets a knowingly aggressive dog roam freely, or does not follow local leash law ordinances, people can be hurt. A dog bite can result in disfigurement and scarring.

• Negligent security - Apartment building, hotels, and college dormitories are properties where many people come and go frequently. If a working security system is not in place, people can be put at risk for physical attacks and sexual assaults.

If you or someone you know has been injured on dangerous or poorly maintained property, you may have legal recourse. Contact our firm through this site or by calling 1-877-9MISHAP to arrange a consultation with an experienced lawyer.
