If someone owns or rents property, they have an obligation to maintain it in a reasonably safe condition for all visitors. Premises owners and caretakers must ensure there is nothing on their property that can harm an unsuspecting guest, visitor, customer, or client.
If you legally visited someone else’s property and suffered an injury because the property was not sufficiently maintained, the property owner or occupier can be responsible for the cost of your losses under premises liability law. Our skilled slip and fall attorneys can help you pursue damages in a Terre Haute premises liability case.
Most premises liability claims involve situations where a visitor experienced an injury because the owner or occupier negligently allowed a dangerous condition to develop on their property.
Many premises liability lawsuits involve slip and fall accidents, where a person slips or trips on someone else’s property. Some of the most common conditions that can lead to slips or trips are as follows:
Our seasoned lawyers in Terre Haute know how to investigate slip and falls to find answers to determine liability and pursue damages for those who own the property.
Dog owners should ensure that their dogs do not pose a risk to guests. State law is particularly favorable to dog bite victims. If you suffered a dog bite while on someone else’s property, you do not need to prove that the dog had a prior history of biting or aggression.
Pool owners and operators should be diligent about keeping their pools as safe as possible. If you suffered a pool accident or lost your loved one in a drowning accident, you might be able to pursue damages.
If you have suffered harm on someone else’s property, you might be facing a variety of losses. Our hardworking Terre Haute lawyers can help you seek compensation for each of your losses related to a premises liability incident.
You can seek recovery and reimbursement of your out-of-pocket losses from the accident, including medical expenses and lost wages. Our attorneys can help you gather receipts, pay stubs, and other evidence to justify the value of your economic losses.
You can also pursue damages for your emotional and psychological losses relating to the accident. Non-economic losses can include compensation for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement and/or disability, and loss of enjoyment of life. Although non-economic damages are harder to quantify in dollar figures, our experienced attorneys know how to help calculate fair values.
Our skilled legal team can help you fight for a full and fair recovery of damages for all your losses.
You should not have to worry about suffering injuries if you visit another person’s property. Property owners should keep their premises safe. If you experienced harm, the property owner or caretaker can be held liable.

the project often. Clearly, I am a procrastinator.
