Common Types of Premises Liability Accidents and Resulting Injuries

Premises liability cases are based on the negligence of a property owner or occupier. This might be a homeowner, business owner, or lessee who maintains a property. These injuries can occur indoors or outdoors. 

You might have a premises liability case if you were injured due to a hazard the property owner or occupier knew or should have known about. Some common premises liability accidents include: 

• Slip and fall accidents from spills, leaks, icy sidewalks, and other slick conditions
• Trip and fall accidents from loose flooring, uneven sidewalks, potholes, rolled rugs, and items in the walkway
• Negligent security that allows assaults and other attacks
• Dog bite injuries 
• Swimming pool accidents, including drownings and diving injuries
• Falling objects, such as items falling from store shelves
• Elevator and escalator malfunctions and accidents
• Fires, such as in a hotel or apartment building
• Structural defects that cause deck collapses, stair falls, and other accidents

Premises liability accidents cause a wide range of injuries. Some require urgent care visits, while others necessitate emergency hospitalization and inpatient rehabilitation. Some injuries that could occur due to a property owner’s negligence include: 

• Broken bones
• Sprains and strains
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
• Serious lacerations
• Burns
• Soft tissue injuries
• Internal injuries
• Electrocution injuries
• Drowning or near-drowning injuries

Compensation You May Be Entitled to in a Premises Liability Case

Medical Damages

• Ambulance or medevac transportation

• Prescription medication
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Ongoing care and support

• Travel expenses for medical treatments

• Reduced quality of life

Key Evidence We Collect for Successful Premises Liability Claims

When our Plum premises liability attorneys pursue financial compensation for a client injured on someone else’s property in Allegheny County, we conduct a thorough investigation to gather and analyze the necessary evidence to support the claim or lawsuit.

Some common types of evidence we use to prove negligence in premises liability cases include: 

• Photographs of the hazardous condition
• Video of the accident and injury
• Medical records documenting injuries
• Witness statements from official reports or interviews we conduct
• Incident reports from first responders, the property owner, or other agencies
• Expert opinions from safety or medical experts
• Maintenance records, when available
• Previous complaints about the hazard

With a strong case, we can often negotiate a fair settlement for our clients in these cases. The property owner and their insurance carrier usually want to avoid litigation. However, we will file a lawsuit and prepare the case for trial when necessary. 

Pennsylvania law, Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, generally gives us two years to begin a lawsuit based on premises liability injuries. However, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible after you are hurt. We can help today.
