Our Akron premises liability lawyers handle cases, including:
We represent many individuals who were hurt after slipping, tripping, and falling on another party’s property. Spills, liquids, recently mopped or waxed floors, loose carpets, rugs, and mats often cause these incidents. Falls are a common cause of non-fatal accidents, though they are often deadly for seniors. You may suffer broken bones, dislocated shoulders, neck and back injuries, and other serious injuries.
We have represented individuals who incurred injuries at public and private pools. Common issues are slipping and falling on slick surfaces, being cut by sharp edges, being harmed by suction filters, and drowning injuries. We have also represented families who lost loved ones by drowning.
Stairs, balconies, and decks are common building fixtures. You may not think much about them. However, when these elements are not properly maintained, they can become extremely dangerous. Our Akron premises liability lawyers have represented many individuals hurt due to loose or rotting stairs and balcony or deck boards. We also have handled many cases arising due to loose railings or areas without proper railings.
Property owners are responsible for being aware of the risk of crimes in the surrounding area. If the risk of crimes extends to the guests or customers on their property, then they must take steps to keep visitors safe. This can include installing surveillance cameras, locking doors or gates, turning on outside lighting, or hiring security personnel. If a property owner is aware of the risk of crime yet fails to provide adequate security, then they may be liable if you become the victim of a crime.
If you were injured in one of these types of incidents or in any other dangerous property accident, do not hesitate to call Kisling, Nestico & Redick. We are here to listen to your story about what happened. We can then investigate the circumstances to determine what happened, the property owner’s duty to you, and whether the owner was negligent. If there is evidence of negligence, then our Akron premises liability lawyers can represent you in pursuing compensation for your physical, psychological, and financial injuries.
When you incur harm on anyone else’s property, it is important to consider Ohio’s premises liability law. The best way to learn about the law is to speak with our attorneys. We will listen to your situation, explain the law, and discuss when property owners can be sued if their negligence leads to a personal injury.
In Ohio, why you were on the property and whether or not you had permission matters. If you had permission to be on another party’s property, either explicit or implicit permission, and you were there for the owner’s benefit, then you are an invitee. If you were on another party’s property with permission but for your own benefit, then you are a licensee. You are a trespasser if you are on another party’s property without permission.
Property owners in Ohio owe a duty of ordinary care and a duty to warn to invitees. Depending on the situation, the property owner, or the tenant, must inspect and keep track of their premises. They need to look for hazards that visitors would not notice when using a normal amount of care. Essentially, they are looking for hidden and discrete dangers. The owner or tenant is responsible for repairing the hazards or warning visitors about them.
If a property owner fails to inspect their property regularly and then fix or warn about dangers, the property owner is negligent. When this negligence leads to an incident that causes you harm, you may pursue compensation from the owner.
However, your rights are much different if you were a licensee or trespasser. Property owners owe a lesser duty of care to you. They are responsible for not wantonly, willfully, or recklessly hurting you. Essentially, they cannot put you in danger. However, they are not required to keep you safe.
If you incurred harm as a licensee or trespasser, our Akron premises liability lawyers would carefully review the circumstances to determine whether you may pursue compensation from the property owner. We will provide an objective analysis of your situation and of the likelihood of obtaining a settlement or court ruling in your favor.
When you pursue compensation from a property owner for injuries you suffered on their premises, they may defend themselves by claiming the hazard was open and obvious. An insurer or court will review whether the hazard relevant to your case is objective, open and obvious. They will determine whether a person would have observed the danger using ordinary care. The issue is not whether you actually noticed it or not. This defense could defeat your claim or limit your compensation if it was an open and obvious danger.
If you are up against the open and obvious defense or think it may come up, you should have our Akron premises liability lawyers on your case. We have represented many individuals against businesses and insurers who claimed the open and obvious doctrine. We will fight against this defense and push for you to receive fair compensation for your injuries.
If you wish to hold an owner liable for the injuries you sustained on their property, then you must prove:

Lucha por todo lo que te corresponde
If there is evidence to support an insurance and legal claim, then our Akron premises liability lawyers can represent you in pursuit of compensation. In many cases, we recommend filing a premises liability lawsuit quickly. This enables us to use the discovery process to obtain more evidence. It also shows the property owner and their insurer that we are serious about your claim.
That being said, many premises liability cases do not go to trial. Instead, we negotiate a settlement with a person’s homeowners, renter insurance company, or a business’s liability insurance provider. Many individuals and businesses will have an insurance policy with some premises liability coverage.

Premises liability is a legal concept holding property owners responsible if someone is injured due to unsafe or defective conditions on their property. In Ohio, owners must take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe for lawful visitors. This includes homes, stores, apartment complexes, and public spaces.
Frequent premises liability cases in Akron involve slip and falls on icy sidewalks, trip hazards in local stores, injuries at apartment buildings, and accidents at poorly maintained public parks or schools. Each case depends on the property owner’s duty to maintain a safe environment.
In many cases, the property owner, landlord, business operator, or even a government agency (like the City of Akron) may be liable. Liability depends on who controlled the property and failed to address or warn about a dangerous condition that caused your injury.
If you’re hurt on someone else’s property in Akron, report the incident to the property owner or manager, seek medical treatment immediately, and document the scene with photos. Try to get witness contact info, and contact a premises liability lawyer before speaking to insurance companies.
In Ohio, the statute of limitations for most premises liability cases is two years from the date of the injury. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover compensation. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Yes, but claims against municipalities like the City of Akron follow different procedures and strict deadlines. You may need to provide formal notice within a limited time frame. A lawyer can help navigate these rules and determine if you have a valid claim against a public entity.
