Premises Liability is a legal concept in personal injury cases where the injury is caused by an unsafe or defective condition on someone's property. These include "slip and fall" injuries, snow and ice accidents, inadequate maintenance of premises, defective conditions on the premises, elevator and escalator accidents, swimming pool accidents, water leaks or flooding, fires, and toxic fume or chemical leaks.

Time is of the essence in most injury cases, and that is no different in premises liability cases. Medical care is, as always, a paramount concern. Secondly, insurers need to be placed on notice, and evidence of the scene of the injury needs to be preserved. Failure to act immediately may make it extremely difficult or impossible to prove your claim. Call us today and we’ll take the time to sit down with you and discuss your potential claim. See Premises Liability for more information.

Dogs can be amazing pets. They can also cause enormous pain and suffering when they act aggressively. In Alabama, a dog owner is strictly liable for damages caused by their dog, which means that the injured does not have to show that the owner knew or should have known that their dog was likely to cause injury. Most homeowner’s insurance policies will cover losses suffered by those injured by another’s dog. Our law firm has successfully obtained compensation for injured parties from aggressive dog owners. If you’ve been injured by another’s dog, don’t hesitate to call our law office today for a free consultation and case evaluation. See Dog Attacks for more information.

If you have been injured due to a negligently misfilled prescription, call our law firm immediately. See Misfilled Prescriptions for more information.
