Louisville Premises Liability Lawyers Serving Jefferson County and Surrounding Counties in Kentucky
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over a million people in the United States are injured every year due to a dangerous condition on another’s property (CDC Injury Fact Book). When a property owner or the person responsible for taking care of the property fails to keep conditions safe, and someone suffers an injury as a result, that property owner (or landlord, property manager, contractor, etc.) can be held liable for the damages caused by such negligence. Premises liability cases are often difficult to prove, but the injury and premises liability attorneys at Ewing & Willis in Louisville are experienced in these matters and have successfully handled cases covering just about every facet of premises liability law.
Most often when a property owner is held liable on a theory of premises liability, it is shown that the property owner either knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, yet failed to take any action to fix it within a reasonable time, or failed to give any warning about the hazardous circumstances that existed. Proving these elements of a premises liability claim can be difficult and challenging, and the time frame for pursuing a case can be short. Our lawyers conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, involving forensic experts when necessary, to gain a thorough understanding of what happened and build a strong case for the property owner’s negligence.
