Nashua Premises Liability Lawyers: Getting Hurt On Someone Else’s Property
Accidents happen, and sometimes they happen on someone else’s property. When they do, our Nashua premises liability attorneys at Hamblett & Kerrigan, P.A., can help the injured pursue a claim. Our firm has been helping clients throughout New Hampshire for over a century.
Understanding Owner Liability
In New Hampshire, property owners are required by law to use reasonable care to protect visitors to their property. In other words, they have a responsibility to keep their property safe so that others are not hurt while on their property. Therefore, if an unsafe condition exists and it causes injuries, the property owner is legally responsible for the harm caused to the injured person.
What Are Negligent Property Conditions?
Several common hazards could be considered negligence. Property owners could be held responsible for:
- Tripping hazards that could be easily repaired
- Slippery surfaces where people are known to walk
- Unsecured objects that could fall on someone
If a potential danger could be foreseen, a property owner must use reasonable care to prevent harm to others.
Why Are Slip-And-Fall Cases So Serious?
Many people dismiss a slip-and-fall as a minor accident. However, these incidents often result in severe, long-term physical trauma. When you encounter unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, the impact of a fall can change your life in seconds. A sudden fall can cause broken bones, spinal cord damage or even traumatic brain injuries.
These conditions often require extensive surgery and months of painful physical therapy. Beyond the physical pain, the financial burden can be overwhelming. You may face rising medical bills while you are unable to work. A premises liability lawyer from our team will provide the dedicated advocacy you need. We can help you seek the compensation required to cover your care and support your family during recovery.
Understanding Homeowners’ Liability Insurance
Homeowners’ liability and property insurance can protect homeowners in the event of a premises liability claim. However, it is important to understand that insurance companies are in the business of minimizing claims to avoid paying costs. An experienced premises liability attorney will know how to prepare a personal injury claim to obtain the compensation you deserve. You should never accept an offer from an insurance company to settle your injury claims without first reviewing the offer with an experienced injury lawyer.
