Legal Help for the Injured

Canton, Ohio Premises Liability Lawyers

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their land and buildings for business clients, residents, customers, or any other people who have an authorized reason to be on their property. When property owners fail to fulfill their obligation of maintaining their land and buildings, visitors and clients conducting business on the property run the risk of sustaining personal injuries.

Slip and fall accidents, defective sidewalks, building code violations, poor construction, and staircase accidents caused by weather-related neglect, shoddy building materials, and unfenced pets are all liabilities for negligent property owners. Such liabilities can have devastating and long-term consequences for innocent victims.

Premises liability cases address these liability issues and require property owners to pay retribution by helping victims seek compensation for their losses. Call us today at (330) 488-1234 to reach out. If you have sustained an accident or injuries related to slipping and falling on public property or have experienced another incident on another person’s premises due to poor design or neglect of upkeep, or have sustained any other premises injuries in Ohio, you may be able to open a premises liability lawsuit.

Common Types of Premises Accidents

  • Trip-and-fall accidents, resulting from cracked or corrupted sidewalks, loose extension cords or cables, torn carpet or messy rugs, and other walking hazards
  • Falls, often related to stairs, loose or missing railings, and construction site hazards
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Electrocution from faulty wiring
  • Object force, from flying or falling objects such as debris, products, rotating doors, tools, etc.
  • Dog bites
  • Water leaks or flooding
  • Amusement park accidents

Common Premises-Related Accident Locations

Locations that tend to appear often in Ohio premises-related accident cases include:

  • Airports
  • Construction sites
  • Sidewalks
  • Private residences/apartment buildings
  • Warehouses
  • Factories
  • Commercial buildings
  • Boardwalks
  • Entertainment or sports venues
  • Professional offices
  • Government buildings or offices

No matter how or where you sustained a premise injury, an accident might not be your fault. You could be entitled to compensation even if you were partially to blame; thus, it’s important to speak with an experienced premises liability attorney before making assumptions or statements about your premises injuries.

Most Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Just because you were injured on someone else’s property does not necessarily mean the property owner was negligent, even if the property was in an unsafe condition. To win a premises liability case, you must show that the property owner knew or should reasonably have known that the premises were unsafe or needed maintenance but failed to address the problem. You also must demonstrate that you were an authorized visitor on the property and not trespassing.

Common types of premise liability cases include:

  • Slip and Fall cases (generally known as the most straightforward premises liability cases)
  • Inadequate building security
  • Swimming pool accidents
