Premises Liability
Property owners may be held responsible for injuries that have occurred because of unsafe conditions on their premises. When a property owner fails to identify hazards, does not perform repairs, or does not warn visitors about risks, they may be held liable for injuries suffered by visitors. Premises liability cases may address:
Slip and Fall Accidents
Serious injuries can occur in grocery stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, parking lots, or other locations where hazards cause people to slip or trip and fall down. These accidents may involve issues such as:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, rain and snow that has been tracked in through an entrance, or other hazards can lead to fall injuries when people are unaware that floors are slippery.
- Uneven or Broken Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, damaged floors, or loose carpeting can create tripping hazards.
- Poor Lighting: Dimly lit stairwells, parking garages, or other walkways may prevent people from seeing hazards, and this can lead to trip and fall injuries.
- Inadequate Handrails: Missing or broken railings on stairs, ramps, or upper levels may fail to provide support and cause people to fall to lower levels and suffer serious injuries.
In a slip and fall case, an injury victim will need to show that a property owner knew or should have known about dangerous conditions and failed to take the proper steps to protect against injuries. Our team can gather evidence such as security camera footage, maintenance records, and witness testimony to show that a property owner was negligent
Other Property Hazards
In stores, restaurants, businesses, and other locations, people may be injured due to falling objects, swimming pool accidents, assaults that take place because of inadequate security, exposure to toxic substances, or other safety issues. Our lawyer can help determine whether a property owner can be held liable for injuries suffered by a customer or visitor, and we will work to recover full and fair compensation in these cases.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog owners may be held liable when their pets bite or attack people. An owner may be held liable for the damages that occur when a dog injures, regardless of whether the owner knew about a dog's aggressive tendencies.
Dog bites can cause serious physical injuries, including deep lacerations, nerve damage, broken or crushed bones, and infections. In many cases, dog bites can lead to permanent disfigurement. Victims may experience emotional trauma, including anxiety and fear that can affect their daily lives long after the incident.
Our attorney works with dog bite victims to obtain compensation for medical treatment costs, reconstructive procedures, lost wages, emotional distress, and scarring or disfigurement. We can also determine whether parties other than a dog owner may be held liable, such as a property owner who failed to ensure that a tenant kept a dog leashed or confined on their premises.
Motor Vehicle Accident Cases
Collisions may take place on highways, local roads, or residential streets in and around Severn. Our lawyer works with people who have been injured in a wide range of motor vehicle accidents, taking steps to demonstrate that negligent drivers were responsible for collisions and handling issues related to insurance claims. We can assist with:
- Car Accidents: Negligent driving that can lead to an accident may include distracted driving, speeding, running red lights, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Our attorney can help ensure that negligent drivers will be held liable for causing accidents while preventing clients from being assigned fault for a collision.
- Truck Accidents: When collisions involve commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers and delivery trucks, the people involved may suffer catastrophic injuries. These cases may involve multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, a trucking company, or cargo loaders. Our lawyer can investigate an accident and gather evidence of negligence while working to ensure that a victim will be fully compensated.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders are not protected by an enclosed vehicle, and they can be seriously injured when other drivers act unsafely. Our attorney understands the unique issues that may be involved in motorcycle crashes, and we can take steps to hold negligent drivers responsible for their failure to notice motorcycles or other violations that led to dangerous collisions.
- Pedestrian Accidents: When a motor vehicle strikes a person on foot, serious injuries can occur, even if a collision took place at a low speed. Drivers may be held responsible for their failure to yield to pedestrians or other forms of negligence that led to collisions with people on foot.
Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
