Welcome to the Premises Liability Webpage for The Law Office of Paul Hogan, LLC. We focus on representing personal injury victims and their families. Our clients include those who have suffered physical, emotional and mental trauma in premises liability accidents, medical malpractice, unsafe prescription drugs, automobile and on-the-job accidents, and wrongful death.

Premises liability claims are those involving people who were injured or the families of someone who has died because of dangerous or unsafe property. Property owners are legally bound to provide a reasonably safe condition of property or, at a minimum, warnings that the conditions of the premises may be unsafe. Negligent property owners must pay the victim damages that may include medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of current and potential wages, and other damages. Our premises liability experience ranges from "slip and fall" and "trip and fall" claims to toxic chemical injuries, failure to warn of hazardous conditions, improperly maintained equipment, dog bites, safety and security issues, and other dangerous conditions of properties. If you have been injured on another party's property, or if you are the survivor of a loved one who has died in a property-related mishap, please contact our attorneys today. The Law Office of Paul Hogan, LLC believes that achieving justice on behalf of the injured victim is the highest and best expression of the art of practicing law.

Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, owners have a responsibility to maintain their property and to warn people who enter the premises of any unsafe conditions. Premises liability covers a comprehensive range of suits for injuries caused by a property owner's failure to warn, maintain and correct situations on public and private premises. If property owners fail to notify people entering their premises of any hazardous conditions, the owner may be held legally responsible or "liable" for injuries that occur on their property. The most common premises liability cases involve individuals who slip, trip or fall because of a defect or hazard on another person's property. Other premises liability injuries may occur as the result of:

• Broken or cracked sidewalks
• Slippery or wet floors
• Falls on escalators and elevators
• Unprovoked dog bites and attacks
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals or toxic materials at work or in the home 
• Injuries that result from the criminal acts of others due to inadequate security
• "Failure to warn" notification of a property's hazardous or unsafe condition

While many businesses and homeowners carry premises liability insurance; it is often insufficient to fully pay any significant damage compensation. To ensure that you receive the best compensation available, consult with an attorney who specializes in premises liability before talking with an insurance company. Insurance is a business, and like any business - their own interests and profit are their priority.
