Most business owners have insurance, so you will likely file a claim in pursuit of the compensation you deserve. In a perfect world, you would receive a quick, fair settlement from the liable insurer. This is not how premises liability claims typically unfold.

- Burn hazards
- Dangerous pools and pool decks
- Dangerous animals
- Preventable fires
- Falling objects
- Hazardous escalators and elevators
- Broken, slippery, or otherwise defective stairs

Various other hazards that property owners routinely expose unsuspecting visitors to
North Carolina statutes require many duties of land and property owners, including warning visitors of “artificial or unusual hazards” they know of. Even if an owner was not aware of the hazard that harmed you, they may have been negligent in failing to monitor and ensure the safety of their premises.

Our firm has recovered individual settlements and verdicts of more than $38 million, $8 million, $3 million, and $2.9 million for clients. We understand how expensive property owners’ negligence can be for the victim. Our financial demands in premises liability cases often cover:
- Medical bills, which can continue to hit a client’s mailbox for years

You might deserve compensation for many other damages. We will explore your psychological and emotional response to injury, consider the long-term harm you may face, and compose settlement demands that reflect the full cost of the property owner’s negligence.
