Property owners are responsible for injuries and damages caused by their negligence. For instance, the homeowner who leaves a hazardous condition, like a broken step, a loose banister on a stairway, or exposed wiring that might cause shock, may be responsible for the injuries suffered as a result. A business owner is said to have a greater responsibility than the homeowner. Anyone coming on the premises of a business as a customer or vendor is considered to be a business invitee and is entitled to find the premises free of defects and safe for the public.
The prudent property owner carries liability insurance to protect their assets against claims and to provide compensation for anyone who is injured on their premises. Property owners often also have medical payments coverage that will pay some of the medical bills of the injured party without regard to who was at fault for the injury. If you've been injured on someone else's property in a trip and fall or other type of accident, contact our premises liability attorneys. The lawyers at the Phoenix firm of Begam & Marks serve Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale, Gilbert, Peoria, Tempe, Chandler, Buckeye, Surprise, Sun City, and other cities and towns throughout Arizona.
The slip or trip and fall accident is common. A wet floor or slippery surface or debris on a floor in a business or home, a hole in a carpet, an uneven walkway, inadequate lighting, all can lead to a slip or trip and fall resulting in serious injury. The first defense that the business or homeowner’s insurance company will advance is that the condition was “open and obvious”. However, if it can be established that the fall is the result of negligence by the owner and/or operator of the premises where you fell, their insurance company may be compelled to compensate you for your injuries and damages.
Individuals who are injured in a trip and fall accident should promptly contact the premise liability attorneys at Begam & Marks. Our lawyers serve Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale, Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler, Peoria, Buckeye, Sun City, Surprise, and other Arizona towns, helping victims obtain the compensation they deserve.
