Common Questions

About Premises Liability Cases

What is premises liability?

keyboard_arrow_down
Premises liability refers to injuries caused by unsafe or dangerous conditions on someone else's property. Property owners and occupiers may be responsible when they fail to reasonably maintain their property or address known hazards.

What types of accidents can lead to a premises liability claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Premises liability claims can arise from many types of unsafe property conditions, including slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, inadequate security, falling objects, unsafe stairways, broken handrails, poor lighting, snow and ice hazards, and other dangerous conditions that could have been prevented through reasonable maintenance or care. When negligence contributes to an injury, Wisconsin law may allow injured individuals to seek compensation for their losses.

Do I have a case if I slipped and fell?

keyboard_arrow_down
Short answer...maybe. Not every fall results in a legal claim, but if a dangerous condition caused your injury and the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard, you may have grounds for a case.

What types of properties are involved in premises liability claims?

keyboard_arrow_down
These claims can arise from injuries at stores, restaurants, apartment buildings, hotels, office buildings, parking lots, private residences, and other public or private properties.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

keyboard_arrow_down
Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence system. Depending on the circumstances, you may still be able to recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for what happened.
