Establishing Fault After a Premises Liability Accident
If you were injured in an accident on the property of another party, you will likely be able to pursue compensation. However, determining who is to blame for your damages in these cases can be difficult. Several things must be taken into account, and while property owners and occupants must work to reduce hazards, they are not always liable for accidents that occur.
The law requires property owners and occupants to provide visitors with a reasonably safe environment and address any hazards that arise in a timely manner. However, the law does not expect these parties to be able to address all hazards immediately and allows for a reasonable amount of time to identify and handle safety issues.
For example, when a customer spills something at a store and the spill results in an accident, the store will not be held liable unless it had adequate time to address the issue and failed to do so. Furthermore, the store may not be responsible if a customer is injured while engaging in unreasonably dangerous behavior like running or climbing on shelving.
The Legal Obligations of Property Owners and Occupants
Determining whether a property owner, renter, or lessee is responsible for a hazard on the property can be challenging. Both parties have certain legal duties to ensure the safety of the property.
Fortunately, an experienced premises liability attorney serving Brockton will be aware of the particulars of these laws and be able to help sort out which party is liable for your damages.
Don’t Become a Victim of the Liable Party’s Insurer
Insurance companies go to great lengths and spend a lot of money convincing the public that they are friendly neighbors who simply want to help those facing challenges. However, they only spend the money on these ad campaigns because it is an investment that saves them much more money in the long run as they are able to take advantage of claimants who trust them.
Insurance adjusters will use a variety of tricks to deny or devalue claims. By gaining the trust of injury victims, they are able to manipulate them out of the money they deserve. The best protection against these tactics is to decline to speak with an insurance representative until you have hired a lawyer.
Once you have a premises liability attorney working with you, the insurer will be unable to contact you directly. Forcing them to go through your attorney eliminates their ability to take advantage of you, which will greatly improve your odds of getting the compensation you deserve.
Ensure You Meet All Deadlines in Your Premises Liability Case
When pursuing compensation through a premises liability lawsuit, it is critical that you are aware of the personal injury statute of limitations in the state where the accident occurred. In Massachusetts, this statute generally grants accident victims three years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. Missing this deadline could mean the loss of your ability to recover damages.
However, this deadline is not always set in stone. An exception in your case could shift the filing deadline in either direction.
Reaching out to an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after your accident is the best way to ensure you are aware of the precise deadline that applies to your case. When you hire an attorney, they will determine if any exceptions apply to your case and file your lawsuit well before the cutoff date.
The Brockton Premises Liability Lawyers at our Firm Work on a Contingency Fee Basis
Accident victims often fail to hire lawyers to help them get the money they need and deserve over fear that they will not be able to afford their services. However, the attorneys at our firm are paid on a contingency fee basis. With this payment system, our lawyers only get paid if they successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
If our team is able to get you money from the liable party, we will collect a single fee at the end of your case. This fee will be paid directly out of the compensation you recover at a fixed percentage. That means you will never have to pay a single cent out of your own pocket.
With a contingency fee payment system, all accident victims can afford to hire legal representation, regardless of their financial standing.
