Three Types Of Injuries That May Require A Connecticut Premises Liability Attorney

The phrase Connecticut premises liability attorney may sound like a foreign language to some, but in the simplest terms it means that if you are injured on someone’s property, they can be held liable for your injury.  An attorney may be required to help guide you through the process of being fairly compensated for your injury and to recoup your resources that may have been lost.

Let’s break this type of injury down a little further.  There are many types of injuries you can run into when on someone else’s property that may give rise to  litigation.  While not all injuries will rise to that level there are some serious injuries that undoubtedly will.  If you are injured in any of the following ways, especially at a place of business, you may need to speak with an attorney.

1. Falling down stairs.  If you are climbing up or walking down a set of stairs on someone else’s property and you fall and injure yourself due to a defect in the stair case, you may need to file a claim.  

2. Escalator injuries.  The same applies to going up or down on an escalator, but here there are even more mitigating factors that may be in play.  If the escalator was not properly maintained, you may need to file a claim with more than one property owner.  

3. Insufficient security.  You may be at an event where there are injuries caused by rowdy or violent people.  If you are injured and there was not enough security provided for the event this may be considered a premises liability case.  

There are a large number of moving parts for a case that involves premises liability and that is why it is so important to speak to an experienced attorney who knows the laws and can identify which statutes apply to your individualized case.  Not all injuries that happen on the property of another are the same and therefore it requires a level of  experience to identify what issues are important to the case.

If you are injured in a Connecticut premises liability case you should speak with an attorney as soon as you can.  Even if you are unsure whether your injury would apply to this type of case, you should reach out and speak to someone.  It is better to speak with someone and have them tell you it is not a viable case than to miss your opportunity to be properly compensated for your injuries.
