Premises Liability - Business Premises (Public and Private Buildings)
Buildings that are open to the public are often unsafe or are maintained in an unsafe condition. Parking lots, sidewalks, foyers, escalators and elevators all present potential risks to visitors. Many risks are failure to clean up spills or conditions created by the property owner.
We have seen and handled the following types of cases over the years:
- Inadequate safety measures in construction or re-modeling zones
- Falling elevators
- Stopping escalators
- Park lot accidents and security problems
- Slips on spills
- Falling items off shelves
- Icy Walkways
- Spilled hot foods and liquids on patrons
- Food poisoning and foreign objects in foods
- Code violations (eg. Stairs)
