Premises and General Liability
Premises Liability Defense Attorney
When someone slips and falls, when a banister breaks and causes injury, when a toxic substance leaks into the atmosphere in or around a building, property owners and managers can face claims and lawsuits seeking damages. At the O'Toole Fernandez Weiner Van Lieu, LLC law firm, we defend property owners and managers and others in premises liability cases.
Our premises liability defense attorneys have defended many types of cases from many different kinds of clients. We defend property owners (including landlords and corporations), companies that manage property, and governmental entities that own property. Our premises liability cases cover many different circumstances:
- A commercial building's common areas may have uneven flooring or a broken stairway banister.
- A utility may fail to contain radiation within certain parts of the facility.
- A balcony may collapse injuring residents and visitors in an apartment building.
- The steps to a public building may be unsafe because of ice that was not removed.
- Sick building syndrome caused by toxic substances may harm residents or workers.
In all those cases, the allegations need to be investigated, liability needs to be established, and the case needs to be evaluated. Is the hazard that injured a tenant landlord responsibility or tenant responsibility? Was the building's owner made aware of danger? Our premises liability defense law firm has extensive experience in limiting our clients' financial exposure in premises liability lawsuits.
