Maryland Premises Liability Attorneys

Need Compensation? We Can Help!

When personal injuries are suffered due to a hazardous or unsafe condition on someone’s property, the legal concept of premises liability comes into play. This is the body of law that makes the person in possession of the property liable for the injuries sustained while present on the premises.

If you are involved in an accident that results in a personal injury, liability needs to be proven in order for you to receive compensation for damages done. Albers & Associates is here to help you every step of the way, as your local and reliable personal injury lawyer in Maryland.

Potential damages from personal injury cases that involve premises liability can include:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of ability to work

Requirements for Premises Liability

In order for this type of liability to apply:

  1. The defendant in your personal injury case must legally own the land/premises.
  2. You must be a licensee or an invitee on the property at the time the injury occurred.
  3. Negligence must be proven.

The most common cases in which premises liability applies are slip and fall accidents and dog bite injuries.

Victim of A Maryland Slip and Fall Accident? Know Your Rights.

It is the property owner’s responsibility to keep walkways and floors clear and in a safe condition for patrons, guests, or visitors that enter onto their premises. As long as you can prove that the property owner was negligent in keeping safe the area where you sustained your injury and that you had a legal right to be present on their property at the time, you will likely be able to claim premises liability.

Sadly, this can be more difficult to prove than it seems, so seeking legal aid from a licensed and professional personal injury attorney is highly recommended in order to successfully be granted the compensation you deserve.

Bitten By a Dog in Maryland?

Thousands of dog bite-related injuries occur in Maryland every year. Over 50% of these accidents occur while the person is at their home or on the premises of the dog’s owner. Dog bite injuries fall under the umbrella of premises liability cases because, in most circumstances, the dog’s owner is the person held liable for any injuries caused by their pet.

If you are the victim of a dog bite and were not an invited guest or legally allowed to be on the property where you sustained the injury, premises liability can be difficult or nearly impossible to prove. Additionally, if you purposefully acted in a way that aggravated the dog or escalated the situation, contributory negligence may be claimed by the defendant, which means that you were a contributor to the injury.
