Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims can involve a number of different dangerous scenarios:

Failure to maintain a sidewalk causing someone to trip-and-fall
Failure to warn of slippery surfaces
Failing to repair broken stairs or level uneven flooring
Failure to provide adequate lighting
Poorly maintained shrubs and bushes blocking lines of sight
A falling object causing serious injury

To be successful, a premises liability claim must show that the property owner or manager had reasonable knowledge about the issue and still failed to correct it. For example, if a mall owner knew that the mall had inadequate security and a person was raped or mugged on the property, the owner may be held responsible. Our premises liability attorneys have the skill to prove that your serious injury is directly related to property manager or homeowner negligence.

A Testament of Gratitude

"I could actually write a book on how much Mr. Maynard's office has help me through the years. My story and journey with Doug's office started in 2004, they have stuck with me though the highs and lows of my ordeal. Everyone in his office has worked tirelessly through the years to make sure my Workers Comp medical bills were always paid, and I received my checks for my salary. Jeannie the office Paralegal would actually call and check on me if I hadn't called the office in a while. My case finally settled this year with what I think is an amazing outcome.

I would recommend, Mr. Maynard's help to anyone and everyone, so if you want to be treated seriously and with the utmost respect, I would call Mr. Maynard and his Staff. I can't thank them enough."
