Premises Liability
Premises liability cases involve accidents that occur due to negligent maintenance or unsafe and dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim, often resulting in serious injury or death. Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises.
Clausen Miller has defended claims brought by tenants, employees, contractors, invited guests, and many other individuals injured on our clients’ premises. Our attorneys have defended cases involving injuries sustained from collapsed cranes, fallen scaffolding, elevator falls, explosions, defective appliances, uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, slippery surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators, broken steps, and more. Our attorneys have also been on the forefront of litigation involving hotels, shopping centers and other businesses which have failed to protect customers from crime on their premises.
Clausen Miller has been involved in many widely publicized premises liability cases in recent years, including the Hancock Center scaffolding collapse and 69 West Washington fire.
