Premises liability accidents can happen in a variety of ways and in different types of locations. Some of the most common types of premises liability accidents include the following:
Slip and fall accidents: These occur when someone slips or trips on a surface that is slippery or uneven. This can happen due to wet floors, icy sidewalks, loose or uneven flooring, or other hazards.
Trip and fall accidents: These occur when someone trips over an obstacle or hazard on the ground, such as a pothole, uneven pavement, or an object left in a walkway.
Dog bites: Property owners can be held liable if their dog attacks and injures someone on their property. This includes both public places and private residences.
Swimming pool accidents: Property owners who have swimming pools on their premises have a duty to keep them safe and secure. This includes maintaining fencing and gates, keeping the pool clean and free from hazards, and warning visitors of any potential risks.
Inadequate security: Property owners have a duty to provide adequate security measures to prevent criminal activity on their premises. This includes installing security cameras, hiring security personnel, and providing adequate lighting in public areas.
Negligent maintenance: Property owners must maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes repairing hazards such as broken stairs, loose handrails, or malfunctioning elevators.
If you have been injured in any of these types of premises liability accidents, it’s important to seek legal advice from an experienced attorney who can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation.
If you’ve been injured due to a property owner’s negligence, building a strong case for premises liability involves several key steps:
The first and most important step is to seek medical attention for your injuries. This not only ensures that you get the care you need, but also creates a record of your injuries and the treatment you received. This record can be used as evidence in your case.
If possible, take pictures or videos of the scene where your accident occurred. This can help establish the cause of your injuries and identify any hazards that may have contributed to the accident.
If there were any witnesses to your accident, gather their contact information and ask them to provide a statement about what they saw. Witness statements can be important evidence in establishing liability.
If you haven’t already done so, notify the property owner or manager of your accident. This creates a record of the incident and can help establish liability.
Keep records of all medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses related to your injury. This can help establish the extent of your damages and the compensation you may be entitled to.
Consult with an experienced premises liability attorney who can evaluate the strength of your case and advise you on the best course of action. An attorney can also help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.
Building a strong case for premises liability requires a thorough understanding of the law and a careful evaluation of the facts. By following these steps and working with an experienced attorney, you can increase your chances of obtaining the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
The amount and types of damages you can recover will depend on the specific circumstances of your case, but here are some you might be able to be compensated for.
Premises liability accidents can result in serious injuries that require medical treatment, such as emergency room visits, surgery, physical therapy, and medication. You may be entitled to compensation for these medical expenses, both past and future.
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for your lost wages. This includes not only the income you’ve already lost but also the income you’re likely to lose in the future due to your injuries.
Premises liability accidents can cause significant physical and emotional pain and suffering. You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, including physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
If your personal property was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement.
In some cases, the court may award punitive damages to punish the property owner for their egregious conduct or to deter similar conduct in the future.
Determining the amount of damages you’re entitled to in a premises liability case can be complex and requires a careful evaluation of the facts and circumstances of your case. It’s important to work with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation. Your attorney can also help you negotiate with insurance companies and represent you in court if necessary to help ensure you receive the maximum compensation you’re entitled to.

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
