How to Know if You Have a Premises Liability Claim

Were You Injured on Someone Else’s Property?

The main question in premises liability cases focuses on why you were on another person’s or business’s property. In some cases, injury victims have more protection than others. These are the general rules:

• Invitee – If you were injured on public land and were there because the premises are held open to the public (e.g., to play in a park or go shopping), you could have a claim if the premises were not maintained in a reasonably safe condition.
• Licensee – The legal term “licensee” refers to a social guest (e.g., at a house party). Licensees have the same rights as invitees.
• Trespassers and Uninvited Licensees – If you were on someone else’s property illegally or without invitation, you could still have a claim if your injury resulted from a concealed risk known to the property owner or tenant.

Most premises liability cases involve slip and fall injuries. However, many other incidents can also lead to claims (including, for invitees and licensees, criminal assaults). Never assume that you don’t have rights. To make sure you don’t give up your legal right to compensation, the best thing you can do is speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Were You Injured at an Event?

Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach are popular event destinations for locals and visitors alike. While weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, and other celebrations are times to let loose and have fun, they are also times when individuals can suffer unexpected injuries. If you fell, were attacked, or sustained injuries from any other incident at an event, our experienced team can provide a thorough assessment of your legal rights.

Were You Injured in a Store?

You could have a compensation claim if you were injured while out shopping. Spills in supermarkets, slippery shopping mall floors, trip hazards in crowded stores, and dangerous stairs and escalators are just a tiny sampling of the many issues that can lead to premises-related injuries. At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, we regularly take on businesses of all sizes for injuries sustained in their stores.

Regardless of what happened, you owe it to yourself to schedule a free consultation to learn your rights. If you don’t, you could end up paying for someone else’s mistake for years.
