UNDERSTANDING DOG BITES AND OTHER PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS
Businesses, private property owners and government entities are all legally responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions of their properties. Although these types of personal injury claims can be difficult to prove, it’s important to work with an experienced attorney who can offer a clear assessment of your case, help you determine a strategy, and pursue a claim on your behalf.
UNDERSTANDING SLIP-AND-FALL OR PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS IN NORTH CAROLINA
Premises liability and slip-and-fall accidents may sound relatively innocent, but at Smith, Dickey & Dempster P.A., we know firsthand just how serious these types of accidents and subsequent injuries can be. Whether you or a loved one suffered an injury due to shoddy construction, due to inadequate security or because of a dog bite or animal attack, we can step in, outline your options for pursuing a claim, and help you take meaningful action to pursue compensation and potentially protect others from future incidents.
Premises liability matters vary greatly, but some of the most common types of cases we handle include:
- Unrepaired cracks, defects in pavement, sidewalks or parking lots
- Inadequate lighting resulting in an unsafe stairwell or other hazard
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Inadequate security in an area that is known to be high-risk
- Failure to warn patrons or passersby about unsafe conditions
- Allowing patrons or tenants to use unrepaired or unsafe equipment
