Premises Liability

Premises liability claims — claims made when you are injured by a dangerous condition on property — are very difficult.

For example, we recently resolved a case where the client’s prior lawyer had sat on the case for almost ten years. By pushing the case and hiring good experts, we were able to achieve what we thought was an excellent recovery.
