Premises Liability

Individuals have the right to be safe when they enter another person’s premises. Have you been injured from a slip or trip and fall? Unfortunately, there are times when property owners fail to uphold the duty of care that they owe to others. Mallios and Associates is here to help you get the compensation you deserve for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and scarring or disfigurement the accident has caused you. Slip or trip and fall cases arise as a consequence of a dangerous situation on the premises of another person or business’ property. Property owners and residents need to maintain their property free from a foreseeable hazardous condition which is not readily evident. Often times property owners, businesses and residents permit customers, invitees and licensees to come into an area on that location which may have slippery floors, trip hazards or dangerous holes which create serious hazards to invited guests who have no knowledge of the unsafe condition. Common types of premises liability incidents include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, and accidents due to inadequate security or poor maintenance.

Immediate Steps to Take After an Accident

  • Seek Medical Attention – Even if you think your injuries are minor, it’s essential to get a medical evaluation. This not only ensures you receive necessary treatment but also provides a medical record linking your injuries to the accident.

  • Report the Accident - Report the accident to the property owner, manager, or landlord a soon as possible. Request a copy of the accident report for your records.

  • Gather Evidence – Take pictures of your injuries and the accident scene and the conditions that contributed to your accident. This could include things like a wet floor without warning signs, a broken stair, a lack of lighting, a strip across the floor causing a fall, or an aggressive dog. Gather any witness names and statements, incident reports, surveillance footage, and medical records.


It's important to gather and preserve this evidence quickly, as some types of evidence, like surveillance footage, may only be available for a short period.


Insurance companies may try to minimize the amount they pay out in a claim. It's generally recommended to let your lawyer handle communications with insurance companies to protect your interests. Avoid giving recorded statements or accepting a settlement offer without first consulting your lawyer.
