Protecting Your Rights in Premises Liability Litigation
Premises liability is the legal term that covers the responsibility of a property owner to keep buildings and grounds in reasonably safe condition, and the right of a person injured on dangerous property to sue the owner for damages. Premises liability cases usually involve claims of negligence for slip and fall injuries, structurally unsound building elements or inadequate security in bars or night clubs.

Because our practice focuses on the legal rights of injured people, we know how to investigate and present the facts essential to the proof of your liability and damages claims if a property owner's negligence played a role in your injuries.
We also know what you're going through after an accident. Our attorneys stay in close contact with our clients at every stage of the case, so we can help overcome obstacles to insurance coverage or medical treatment, and advise you about any other problems you encounter while we're working on your legal claims.
Examples of the kinds of premises liability cases we handle include the following:
- Slip and fall injuries on ice or snow
- Falls on wet or oily floors
- Injuries resulting from poor building maintenance or repair
- Injuries caused by falling overhead objects (i.e. ceiling collapse, falling ice from commercial building)
- Workplace accidents caused by dangerous property conditions
- Unsafe construction site injury claims
- Assault injuries resulting from inadequate security at entertainment venues, including assault by overzealous bouncers or security staff
- Defective doors, elevators and escalators
- Swimming pool accidents
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
If you suffered your injury while at work or off site in the course of your employment, we can also advise you about your rights under Pennsylvania workers' compensation law. In some cases, you'll be able to sue the property owner for personal injury damages while filing a separate workers' comp claim.
