In-Depth on Premises Cases

One of the questions that I get asked is, “What is a premises case and what types of premises cases do you handle?” Premises cases where you’re hurt on someone’s property. We see a variety of premises cases. For example, what if your landlord doesn’t maintain the steps and you’re going up to your apartment? We see a lot of situations where the landlord doesn’t keep up with the steps and the steps are broken or the hand railing is lose causing someone to fall and get hurt. Those types of things the landlord needs to be held accountable for keeping up with the property. One particular landlord case, I represented a gentleman who was in a mobile home and there has been a history of electric shorts and other properties were there had been electrical fires. He came home, he was taking a nap in his couch and his mobile home literally caught fire burning 80% of his body and the fire department had to come and put out the fire and he’s gone through extensive rehab. So we are maintaining a claim against the landlord for that, the owner of the property. So there’s a variety of premises cases and premises situations that if you have a question about getting hurt on someone’s property call us and find out what your rights are. I’m attorney Karl Truman and if you have any questions about what I’ve talked about call me for a free consultation at 502-222-2222.
