Premises Liability Representation in Indiana and Kentucky
When you visit a shopping mall, go out to eat at a restaurant, travel to the store to pick up groceries or enter any kind of commercial or public building, you should not fear for your safety. You have the right to expect that reasonable steps have been taken to keep the premises safe when an establishment is open to the public. Property owners, property managers and businesses are responsible to repair known defects or clean up spills that can create the risk of a slip-and-fall accident or other event that can cause injury. When they fail to do so, serious accidents can occur. We diligently champion the rights of accident victims who have been injured because of unsafe property conditions throughout Southern Indiana and in communities surrounding Louisville, Kentucky.
The Business or Property Owner Often Dispute Responsibility
A common misperception about property accidents is that the business will simply take care of your medical expenses. It rarely works that way.
In reality, premises liability claims are frequently disputed.
Property owners and insurance companies often argue that they did not know about the dangerous condition, that the hazard was open and obvious, or that the injured person was somehow responsible for the accident.
At Doane Law Office, we understand these defenses and work diligently to investigate the facts, preserve evidence, and build strong cases on behalf of our clients.
Building a Strong Premises Liability Case
Our law firm knows the importance of thorough preparation beginning from day one. We investigate the relevant facts surrounding an accident. In a premises liability case, there may be more than one party responsible for the property. We thoroughly examine the potential parties that may be responsible for an accident. Many property accidents involve slip and fall accidents, which can result in serious or catastrophic injuries.
We work to identify all potentially responsible parties and gather the evidence needed to establish liability and damages.
