Akron, OH Premises Liability Lawyer

A property owner of any kind has a duty of reasonable to prevent any visitor from sustaining a personal injury while on their premises. Should there be certain hazards, especially if they’re not obvious, there should be attempts to notify any and all visitors. Most people think of grocery and retail stores pulling out wet floor signs after mopping, but there are many more examples. Locked gates around swimming pools, aisle or sidewalks free of debris, and property lighting are some more examples.

Most premises liability lawsuits originate from slips and falls, and even a minor slip can result in serious injuries. Less common premises liability lawsuits may include dog bites or nursing home abuse. Regardless of the cause, it’s within your legal right to seek out compensation. 

Trying to prove liability can sometimes be tricky, especially if the accident didn’t happen at a business, such as a retail store. What is considered a safety hazard may not always be clearly defined. Likewise, the duty of care that the owner needed to extend to warn any visitors can also be murky. Even cases that appear to be clear cut can have complications. Sometimes these complications are legitimate concerns, but other times they’re caused by the other side trying to delay a case.
