Riverside Premises Liability Attorney
If an injury you sustain is attributable to the negligence of a property owner, occupant or tenant, that party may be financially and legally responsible for your injuries under premises liability law. Each year, millions of people are injured or killed in slip-and-fall accidents and other accidents where another party is responsible for the injury. Every accident is different, and not all injury accidents are somebody else's fault. A personal injury attorney at the Inland Empire premises liability law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you determine if you are entitled damages for your Riverside premises liability injury and to what extent.
Premises Liability Injuries
Depending on the severity of your accident, injuries from a Riverside premises liability accident may be anywhere from minor injuries to catastrophic, permanently life-changing injuries, to fatal injuries (wrongful death). Serious injuries from gas explosions, amusement park accidents, animal attacks, or slip-and-fall accidents may cause catastrophic injuries. Catastrophic injuries, including burn injuries, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries, are severely damaging, and may require lifelong medical care. Regardless of the type of injury, if you have been badly hurt, contact us for a premises liability case evaluation.
Causes of Premises Liability Accidents
Slip and fall accidents or trip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability claim, but certainly not the only type. Slip and fall accident injuries may be caused by a slippery, sticky or oily ground or an unknown or foreign substance on a floor that should not have been there. Unmaintained grounds or unsafe steps can also be causes of injuries in a slip and fall premises liability claim. Premises liability injuries could also be caused by
• Animal attacks
• Assault
• Broken glass
• Dog bites
• Drowning or near-drowning
• Asbestos Exposure
• Gas Explosions
• Fire hazards
• Icy sidewalks
• Improper or unsafe lighting
• Poor ventilation
• Toxic chemicals
• Uneven stairs
• Unmaintained landscaping
Premises Liability Damages
Financial compensation for a Riverside premises liability injury may include compensation for medical bills and expenses, past and future lost wages, and pain and suffering. Pain and suffering damages may vary greatly, depending on the severity of the particular injury and how it affects your life. Pain and suffering is designed to compensate you for your loss of enjoyment of life, loss of companionship of loved ones, and possibly your inability to enjoy your previous lifestyle. In rare cases, you may be entitled to punitive damages for a premises liability claim, if the property owner committed a crime, for example.
