What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility that landlords, property owners, and managers have for the injuries and accidents that happen on their properties.

What Should I Do After an Accident at Someone Else's Property?

Here’s what you need to do after you or another person has been moderately to seriously hurt after an accident at someone else’s property.

Call 911 immediately. Tell the operator about what happened and who has been injured.

Seek medical attention. If you don’t receive immediate medical care at the accident scene, go to your physician or an emergency room as soon as possible. This will prevent your injuries from getting worse and help you document the harm you’ve suffered in this accident. If you wait too long, your injuries will get worse and you may not be able to produce the records you need to advance your case.

Gather evidence from the accident scene. Take photos and videos of the accident scene. Make sure you’ve captured any unsafe, broken, or missing property features, such as slippery floors and faulty stairs. You should also:

Collect the names and contact information of witnesses to the accident.
Save your medical bills so you can use them in your case.
Gather debris from the scene to highlight the broken, unsafe, or missing property features.

After a major highway accident, I had no idea what to do or how to deal with the at fault driver's insurance company. Thank goodness I was directed to Morris and Dewett, especially Morgan & Meghan. Those two ladies took everything over and all I had to do was focus on getting well. They kept me well informed the whole way, explained things in a manner I easily understood, and are just precious caring women.
I highly recommend Morris & Dewett!
