If you were injured in a hotel, a store, a mall, a restaurant, a sporting event, a parking lot or parking garage, on a sidewalk, or in any other public place, you may have a valuable claim for money damages. To find out if your injury entitles you to significant money damages, call the attorneys at Berger & Lagnese for a free consultation.

Other Accidents

When you leave your home, you place your safety in the hands of the person who owns or maintains the property you are visiting.  When you visit a shopping mall, stay at a hotel, or park your car in a garage, you are trusting that the owner of the property has kept their property safe for visitors.  Although a property owner is not liable for every injury that occurs on their land, they are responsible if your injury is caused by their failure to maintain their property in a safe condition.

Many times, those who are injured on another person’s property are not aware they have a case.  They blame themselves for their serious injury instead of asking themselves if the stairwell should have been well lit or the puddle they slipped on in the store should have been mopped up earlier in the day.  If you are injured on another person’s property because the property was not appropriately maintained, the owner of the property is responsible for your lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Accident cases cover a wide variety of situations.  A woman staying in a hotel has a glass door fall and shatter on her.  A man shopping in a local store is injured by falling merchandise. A woman falls in an improperly lit hallway.  A woman is injured while walking through a construction site that lacks proper warning signs. Additional examples of accident cases are:

  • Injuries due to equipment on the property
  • Injuries that are the result of another person’s actions on the property
  • Slip and falls from uneven surfaces, broken sidewalks, or wet floors
  • Accidents due to a lack of security on the property
  • Accidents due to a lack of signs or improper signs
  • Injuries due to falling objects

It is often difficult for the injured party to know who was at fault or how the accident could have been prevented. At Berger & Lagnese, we will determine whether you have been a victim of a property owner’s carelessness or neglect.  We will work with you to determine what category of visitor you were – invitee, social guest, licensee, or trespasser – and whether the owner of the property made any effort to prevent your accident from happening.

If you think you may have a premises liability case, it may be helpful to ask yourself the following questions:
  • Were guests to the property adequately warned of hazards?
  • Did the property owner know that a hazard existed and failed to repair it, secure it, or place signs to warn you about the hazard?
  • Was the hazard cleaned up in a reasonable manner and in a reasonable amount of a time?
  • Did you preserve any evidence from the accident?

Don’t continue to struggle with the medical bills and loss of income caused by your injuries without consulting a professional to determine whether your injuries could have been prevented. You may be owed money – for the financial repercussion of your injuries and your pain and suffering. Don’t wait. Let Berger & Lagnese investigate your case and secure the financial compensation that the law requires.  There are laws in place that protect you in these situations and, by working together, we can help protect your safety.
