Washington State Premises Liability Attorneys
Premises liability describes a body of law that holds a property owner liable for injuries to another that occur on a piece of property, and where the injuries were due to the negligence of said property/land owner. If you have been injured in a slip and fall, trip and fall or other accident on the property of another, you may be able to bring a premises liability claim to obtain compensation for your injuries. At Feldman & Lee, P.S., we represent clients in cases of premises liability in the Seattle, Washington, area.
Accidents that qualify as premises liability can happen on almost any private or public property, including:
- Construction sites
- Apartment complexes
- Public transportation
- Bus stops and train stations
- Grocery stores
- Sidewalks
- Public parking lots and parking garages
- Places of employment
Proving Fault in a Premises Liability Claim
Property owners have a responsibility to take reasonable precautions to protect the safety of any individual who comes onto their property. This responsibility is not absolute. You should speak to an attorney who understands the type of conduct that could lead to a valid premises liability claim, and the common defenses used by property owners and insurance companies in premises liability cases.
Washington is a comparative fault state, which means that any possible settlement or judgment can be reduced proportionally by the percentage by which the plaintiff was at fault. At Feldman & Lee, however, our lawyers have fought to protect victims' rights for over 40 years and understand what is necessary to hold property owners accountable for their conduct. We will not allow them to shift the blame onto you when they were primarily to blame for your accident.
We will identify who has the responsibility for the property — whether it is a store owner, government entity or construction company — and work hard to get the compensation that you deserve.
Contact us to let us help you get the compensation that you need. We offer free consultations to prospective clients and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 877.644.3319.
All personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee agreement is a formal contract, which stipulates that the client is not responsible for any attorney’s fees unless there is a settlement on the client’s behalf. Please contact one of the attorneys at Feldman & Lee to discuss your case and the contingency fee agreement in further detail.
