Lowell Premises Liability Lawyer

You are likely aware of high-profile court cases in which someone has sued business or government entity because he or she slipped on a patch of ice or tripped over a broken curb. Such cases grab headlines because of the hefty settlements that ensue.

While such accidents are commonplace, and the injuries that result are severe, they might seem like situations that occur only in news reports. Many people fail to consider slip, trip and fall injuries they sustain due to hazards including:

  • Uneven flooring
  • Poorly secured rugs and mats
  • Falling debris from roofs or ledges
  • Non-existent or loose railings
  • Architectural features of improper height or construction

The Law Is Not a 'Suggestion'

Commercial landlords often treat building and fire codes as suggestions. When they observe the rules, they can act as if they've performed a personal favor to their tenants and visitors. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Laws governing rental properties exist for our protection. Unscrupulous and/or negligent property owners and managers often count on people remaining ignorant of their rights and quiet about unsafe property conditions.

If you or a loved one has been injured on an unsafe property, don't let this happen to you. Contact our experienced premises liability attorneys today.
