Types of Commercial Premises Liability Claims

An accident taking place on commercial property must be handled with the utmost care. First and foremost, the insurance carrier must be notified immediately. It is then prudent to speak with a knowledgeable defense attorney as soon as possible. The sooner evidence is collected and witnesses are interviewed, the better the defense strategy that can be developed.

We skillfully handle all types of commercial premises liability claims, including:

• Slip and fall accidents on sidewalks, in parking lots and in store aisles
• Allegations of negligent security in parking lots and ramps
• Injuries caused by objects falling from store shelves
• Physical and sexual assault on business property
• Acts by third parties on your property

Protecting You From Liability

We strive to resolve commercial premises liability cases as efficiently as possible. To that end, our attorneys work to settle disputes through pre-trial mediations and negotiations whenever possible. A properly conducted pre-trial discovery and investigation is often the most effective way to protect your interests in court and during mediation. With an understanding of all the issues, we will develop the best strategy to protect you against liability.
