Frequently Asked Questions
What is a premises liability case?
A premises liability case involves an injury that occurs due to unsafe or poorly maintained property. Common examples include slipping on ice, tripping on broken pavement, or falling due to poor lighting or unsafe stairs.
Do I have a case if I fell on public property?
You may. Claims involving city, county, or state-owned property are subject to governmental immunity laws and strict filing deadlines. We are experienced in handling these specific types of claims and will act quickly to preserve your rights.
What if I didn’t report the fall right away?
Reporting the incident as soon as possible strengthens your case, but you may still have a claim. We recommend contacting us immediately so we can investigate and gather evidence.
How much time do I have to file a claim?
Most premises liability claims must be filed within three years, but cases involving government entities often require notice within as little as 60 days. Don’t wait—call us today to preserve your case.
