Experienced Trial Lawyers
The owners of a grocery or retail store, parking garage, hotel, apartment complex or other business have the highest obligation to safety. However, premises liability claims can be difficult to prove. We investigate promptly to attempt to preserve evidence of defects or negligence, and to get statements from witnesses (including employees). We must prove that owner had notice of a safety issue and failed to address it in a timely manner, failed to warn you of the danger or that routine maintenance would have revealed the hazard.
