Premises Liability

Mid-South Premises Liability Experts

Premises liability refers to accidents or injuries that occur on the property of someone else, usually because of a hazardous condition or lax security. Injuries that fall under this category can be sustained in public or private places, such as buildings, construction sites, and parking lots.

Under state and federal law, property owners are obligated to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, innocent people can suffer life-altering personal injuries. The premises liability lawyers at The Cochran Firm of the Mid-South are experienced at holding property owners accountable for their negligence.

There are many hazardous conditions that can lead to a strong premises liability claim. A few of these conditions include:
• Building code violations
• Slick sidewalks or walkways
• Faulty electrical wiring
• Poor construction
• Shoddy stairways

Premises liability cases can be one of the most intricate types of personal injury cases. It is crucial to have an adept, experienced, and assertive attorney with the resources to ensure a positive outcome.

When you’ve been injured on a poorly maintained property, a Mid-South premises liability lawyer can help you to determine the best way to go about filing an injury claim to receive compensation for any medical bills or lost wages. Our firm will research the potential cause of your injury and will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve.

Slip and Fall Injury Attorneys

Spilled liquids or tracked-in ice and snow will create slipping hazards in retail stores, restaurants, offices and other public places. Hazardous conditions should be cleaned up immediately, but if they cannot be taken care of in a timely manner, warning signs should be posted as soon as possible. Failure to warn people is negligence and will lead to unnecessary injury.

In the United States, slip and fall accidents account for about one million emergency room visits each year. Falls can cause several different severe injuries, from brain damage to hip fractures.

In some cases, these falls can be fatal. These risks are especially high for individuals aged 65 and older. In fact, for people aged 65-84 years, falls are the second leading cause of injury-related death.

Even if a slip and fall accident doesn’t result in death, the costs of the emergency room visit, treatments, surgeries, and time off from work can add up very quickly. If you or a loved one has been injured from a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
