Premises Liability

Holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions.

Property owners and businesses have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to fix hazards or warn visitors, people get hurt — and the owner may be liable.

Kelso Law Group pursues premises liability claims against negligent property owners, landlords, and businesses. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.

Common Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises cases depend on property conditions, notice, and who controlled the site. We handle:

  • Slip, trip, and fall hazards
  • Inadequate lighting and broken stairs
  • Swimming pool and drowning incidents
  • Negligent security and assault injuries
  • Elevator and escalator accidents
  • Retail and hospitality property hazards

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.

Depending on your case, compensation may include:

  • Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

What To Do After an Injury on Someone's Property

Premises liability claims turn on what happened at the scene. Take these steps:

  1. Seek medical attention and report the incident to the property owner or manager.
  2. Photograph the hazard, lighting, warnings, and the area where you fell or were injured.
  3. Identify witnesses and obtain contact information when possible.
  4. Do not give a recorded statement to the property’s insurer.
  5. Contact Kelso Law Group before signing any incident report releases.
