Were You Injured On Dangerous Property?

When you are injured on another party’s property, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. Whether it is private, public or commercial property, the owner has a duty to keep the premises safe and to warn of any potential dangers.At The Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, we have extensive experience with premises liability cases in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We hold negligent property owners responsible for injuries they cause. While these types of cases can be challenging, you can rely on our thorough case preparation, including an investigation into what caused your accident. Our personal injury lawyers know how to build strong cases for compensation for medical bills, lost wages and benefits, and pain and suffering.

Premises Liability Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

All types of property hazards can cause people to fall, to become trapped or crushed, or to be victims of a crime. Serious or fatal injuries may be the result.

You will need an experienced attorney on your side to get the compensation you need. Proving liability can be difficult, but we have the experience, skill and resources to do so. If the opposition will not negotiate with us, we will be prepared to take the case to trial. We have the trial skill to protect your rights.

Dangerous property can include issues such as:

  • Open hazards
  • Falling objects
  • Broken pavement
  • Wet or slippery surfaces
  • Poor lighting
  • Structural problems

In addition, dangerous property can be caused by negligent security problems. Hotels, casinos and business owners need to protect their customers from being raped, assaulted or murdered on their property. The fault can legally be shared by the criminal and the business owner for not taking adequate steps to protect their guests from criminals.
