Premises Liability Law Office in Casper, WY Fighting for the Rights of Victims

When you step onto someone else’s property, you expect a certain level of safety. When that isn’t met, and you get injured, the owner or property manager is responsible. Public places need to be kept safe and free of accident-causing hazards. When an area is dangerous or a spill takes place, the person responsible needs to mark it off immediately while they work to remove the hazard. If your injury takes place at a business, big or small, that business likely owes you damages, and you should seek compensation. Compensation might be for your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and other damages.

When a person is invited to someone’s house or chooses to patronize a business, they have a right to expect safety. Owners and managers need to meet the basic standards. When a property is kept up, or employees are reckless, people get hurt. If you’ve been injured on another person’s property or at a business you were trying to support, speak to a premises liability law firm that can help determine what your next steps should be.

Call Platte River Injury Law’s Casper office today at 307-224-9378 to set up a free consultation.

How is Liability Determined?

When the time comes, a judge will analyze all the details surrounding your accident and determine if the property owner or manager took the proper steps to prevent your injury. Ultimately, it comes to intentions and actions. If you were in a grocery store and a worker was told to clean up a puddle of spilled milk and did not, the judge would likely agree that the store did not meet the basic standards of safety. Of course, there are other factors, like whether the store put out a “wet floor” sign or other warnings that you should have followed. At the end of the day, accidents do happen, but if yours was caused by someone else’s negligence, then you shouldn’t have to shoulder the entire burden. The responsible party owes you compensation, and a premises liability law office knows how to get it.

Is There a Time Limit for Filing a Premises Liability Claim?

The short answer is yes. When it comes to personal injury cases, every state has something called a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is defined as “a period of limitation for the bringing of certain kinds of legal action.” This is basically a set amount of time given for you to file a claim, starting from the date your accident occurred. In most U.S. states, if your injury was caused by a property hazard or defect, you have two years to file a claim or lawsuit. Of course, there are other factors and other scenarios where the window may be shorter, such as if the claim is against a government building or figure, or other public entity. When you meet with a personal injury law office, the lawyers will know your specific state’s requirements and can ensure your premises liability claim is filed correctly and on time.

How Much Compensation Can a Premises Liability Attorney Get?

Every premises liability case is different. There are so many circumstances that can result in a person being injured on someone else’s property, that it would be hard to determine exactly how much your claim is worth without the details. Generally, victims’ lawyers will ask for compensation for economic damages, like medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. That said, there are also non-economic damages to consider. Non-economic damages include things like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. If you’re considering filing a premises liability claim and are curious about what it could be worth, it’s in your best interest to sit down with a premises liability lawyer who can accurately evaluate your case and determine your claim’s value.

Is a Personal Injury Lawyer Necessary?

When you’re involved in a serious accident, your life can be changed forever. Aside from the obvious stress of going through the suffering that comes with it, you could also be hit with massive medical bills, years of rehab, and lost work. When these things combine, it can be a terrible situation for you and your family. The premises liability lawyers at Platte River Injury Law have years of experience handling cases just like yours and will fight tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve. Call us today at 307-224-9378 to set up a free consultation, and let us start working so you can stop worrying.
