Memphis Premises Liability Lawyers
Slip and Fall Attorneys Serving the Greater Memphis Area
Premises liability is a broad area of the law. It encompasses many situations where a landowner, business owner, or property manager may be held responsible for someone getting hurt on their property. If you were injured on someone else’s property, you may have grounds to bring a premises liability lawsuit with the assistance of an injury attorney for your damages, such as hospital bills and lost wages. Medical bills for hospitalization, doctor visits, x-rays, and physical therapy can add up quickly, so a personal injury claim may be the only way to recover these out of pocket expenses. For permanent injuries, future medical treatment may be needed. If you were hurt due to someone else’s negligence, call our Memphis premises liability attorneys today. Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz is the largest plaintiff’s personal injury law firm based in Tennessee. We have over 30 lawyers and more than 100 staff members dedicated to protecting the rights of injured victims. Let us show you why NST is the way to go.
Injuries that Occur on Someone Else’s Property
Tennessee law requires property owners to act in a reasonable manner to prevent customers and patrons from getting hurt on their property. One type of premises liability accident is slip and fall. This could occur at a grocery store, restaurant, or other place of business. Tennessee law states a property owner can be liable for injuries if it either created a dangerous condition that injured the victim or if it knew of the existence of a dangerous condition yet failed to take appropriate measures to remedy the situation.
Another example would be inadequate security. When you visit a place of business in Memphis, such as a convenient store, gas station, or shopping center, you do not expect that you will be the victim of a third party criminal attack like a shooting, robbery, or rape. The same goes for tenants of an apartment complex. The law requires property owners and/or managers to take reasonable steps to protect tenants and invitees. At NST, our premises liability attorneys help Memphis residents and other injured people seek to hold property owners accountable when they fail to meet this standard.
Many corporations vigorously defend premises liability claims. These claims are also very fact-specific, meaning proving fault can be difficult. It is important to document and preserve evidence that can help prove liability. Ways to accomplish this include photographing the scene, speaking with witnesses, filing an incident report, and requesting video footage if any exists. Many security cameras record over themselves after a short period of time, making it crucial to retain an experienced personal injury attorney who can take steps to preserve such evidence as soon as possible.
