Hickory Premises Liability Lawyer

Have You Been Injured On Someone Else’s Property in Hickory, NC?

In a premises liability case, the owner of the property (premises) can be held liable for injuries resulting from his or her negligence. However, proving negligence in a premises liability case can be challenging without the help and guidance of an experienced personal injury attorney who knows how to handle these cases effectively.

Unsafe Property And Conditions

Whether the property is residential or commercial, the property owners must take reasonable precautions to protect the safety of guests and visitors from known hazards. If the owner’s negligence causes an accident to occur and a person suffers an injury as a result, the owner may be held liable for compensation to the victim.

Here are just some accidents that can lead to a personal injury claim and compensation:

• A slip-and-fall accident at a grocery store or gas station
• Tripping over a poorly maintained sidewalk at an apartment building
• Being attacked by a dog that is a known danger
• Suffering an injury because of a falling object at a restaurant or hotel
• Being attacked in a parking lot due to inadequate security

Dealing With Insurance Companies And A Lawsuit

In order to file a successful claim and recover damages, you must prove that the owner knowingly allowed the unsafe condition to persist. You must also show that your injuries occurred through no fault of your own.

In most cases, a property owner’s insurance company will try to minimize the amount they have to pay out if you are injured. Before you sign any documents or speak with the insurance adjuster, contact a lawyer from our law firm. We have considerable experience dealing with insurance companies, and can protect you from questions or statements that might be used against you later on.
