Premises Liability

The law of premises liability ensures that the owner of land or a building who fails to keep the property safe for authorized visitors is held responsible for injuries suffered by those visitors. In the event you are faced with an injury due to a dangerous or unsafe condition resulting from land or buildings, our experienced premises liability attorneys are ready to enforce your rights and help you recover for your injury.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability covers a wide range of case types. When researching prospective attorneys and law firms, it’s crucial to find an attorney with experience in the area relevant to your claim. Some of the many examples of premises liability cases that our experienced personal injury attorneys have handled include:



• Building code violations
• Construction and worksite injuries

• Inadequate security
• Poor construction

Defective Products

Consumers expect products to be safe – whether it’s a medication, a piece of playground equipment, or a kitchen appliance. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, and the results can be severe. 

A product liability claim seeks to establish that the product that caused the injury was defective, and the defect made the product unreasonably dangerous. In the event you are faced with an injury due to a dangerous or defective product, our experienced product liability attorneys are ready to enforce your rights and help you recover for your injury.

Types of Defective Product Cases

Although the range of product liability cases is broad, claims typically fall into three categories: 



• Design defects
• Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions
• Manufacturing defects

A design defect is when a product is made according to design plans, but something is wrong with the design, making the product dangerous, such as a gas tank being placed in an area on a vehicle which causes the tank to explode when the vehicle is hit.

A warning defect is when instructions or warnings for the use of the product are not adequate, such as failing to warn consumers with a heart condition that the drug may cause the condition to become worse. These defects can have catastrophic consequences for consumers.

A manufacturing defect occurs when something went wrong when the product was being made, making it different from others and dangerous for use, such as glass found in a bottle of juice.

Examples of Defective Product Cases

• Beauty and personal care products
• Dangerous and unsafe playground equipment
• Dangerous drugs and pharmaceuticals
• Dangerous furniture
• Defective and dangerous toys
• Defective car parts/manufacturer recalls
• Food contamination
• Hazardous appliances
• Hazardous gym equipment
• Malfunctioning or inadequately labeled power tools
