Premises Liability
When someone is injured as a result of unsafe property or building conditions,
they may have a right to make a claim for their damages against the owner of the
property.
In some states, the landowner's duty to protect an entrant on the land depends
on whether that person is a trespasser, licensee or an invitee. The landowner's
duties are different for each type of entrant. The landowner owes less of a duty
to protect the trespasser then the other types of entrants. The landowner's duty
of care is highest for business invitees. Some states, however, have done away
with these multiple classifications in favor of one standard of "reasonableness
under the circumstances" of a particular case.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Wruck Paupore Law Offices at (219) 322-1166 or submit
an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which
means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds.
In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date,
known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you
do not waive your right to possible compensation.
