When a person is injured because of another’s negligence, an attorney familiar with premises liability accidents can counsel. Victims can obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

An experienced personal injury lawyer can assess the incident, communicate with property owners, negotiate with insures, locate witnesses and experts to testily for the plaintiff, and if required, present the case at trial.


A man and a woman were enjoying a party on a neighbor’s deck. When they leaned against a wooden guardrail, it pulled away from the frame and the couple fell four stories to the ground. The woman suffered severe spine, pelvis, shoulder, and rib fractures, as well as a concussion and right lung bruising. Her date fractured his left shin and shoulder blade and now suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. The couple sued the building’s owners, alleging they accepted shoddy deck construction in violation of the city building code. The parties settled prior to trial.
