Who’s Responsible?
Property owners and operators have a legal duty to keep their spaces reasonably safe. That means cleaning up spills promptly, fixing broken fixtures or furniture, maintaining clear walkways, and providing adequate security when there’s a known risk of violence or crime.
Common Causes of Injuries
We see bar and restaurant cases involving slippery floors, overcrowded conditions, broken stairs, poor lighting, negligent security, or violent altercations that could have been prevented. These injuries can result in medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing pain.
What to Do After an Injury
Report the incident to a manager and ask for a copy of any report. Take photos of the area, your injuries, and anything unsafe. Get names and contact information for any witnesses. Seek medical care right away — and follow your doctor’s instructions.
Talk to a Lawyer Quickly
Evidence like security video can disappear fast. A premises liability lawyer can send a preservation letter, gather witness statements, and build your case the right way from the start.
