Serving injured workers
and accident victims across NC
Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. If you were hurt due to negligent maintenance, poor lighting, or unsafe conditions, our North Carolina premises liability attorneys can help you recover compensation.
You may have a premises liability claim if you or a family member has been injured on another person’s property. Work with a North Carolina premises liability attorney who’s experienced in bringing claims against owners for injuries to people on their property.
Premises liability injuries occur when properties are not safe. Owners generally must keep their property safe for people who enter and warn people if certain places on their property are dangerous or unsafe. Owners who invite the public onto their property should warn people about hidden dangers that could cause serious personal injuries.
Injuries can happen on any property open to the public—restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, playgrounds, amusement parks, and dormitories—to name just a few. Injuries can also occur at a friend’s home.
Falls are a common type of premises liability injury. The Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) reports that one of five falls results in broken bones or a head injury. Falls are also the most common form of traumatic brain injuries.
Examples of unsafe conditions that give rise to premises liability lawsuits:
A two-year-old child in a daycare center suffered a broken bone when the center staff put her in a three to four-year age group, and she played on equipment that was too difficult for her. We filed suit against the daycare center on behalf of the girl.
A man entering an area with sliding glass doors lost an ear when the doors unexpectedly closed on him. We found evidence that the doors had been malfunctioning for some time before our client was injured, and we filed suit against the installer of the door system.
A worker was electrocuted when it turned out that faulty wiring was running under the ground where he was being asked to build a trench. Our attorneys went to trial against the companies responsible for maintaining and inspecting the wiring.
An employee suffered a knee injury in a big box store when he fell as he was trying to avoid a falling pallet full of products. We filed suit against the vendor responsible for keeping the pallets stacked and in order.
