If you own or manage property, you need to be aware of potential liabilities on your premises and have a good strategy in place for avoiding lawsuits. You should also have a strong defense team ready in case you do get sued. HSB can help you determine potential hazards and how to meet requirements for posting warnings or adding safety measures.

Premises liability covers situations in which an individual is injured due to a hazard on property owned or maintained by someone else. The most common cases involve someone who slips and falls on anothers premises, but this practice area also can involve dog attacks, chemical exposure, being trapped in a burning building and other situations where it is perceived that the property owner could have prevented the occurrence.

The attorneys in HSB’s Premises Liability group have successfully defended property owners against claims of alleged negligence in a variety of situations. We understand federal and state regulations concerning property owners and the nuances of the claims procedure.
