Mesa Premises Liability Attorneys
What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to the responsibility held by a property owner or occupier to ensure their property is safe. If a Mesa property owner or occupier has negligently caused or negligently failed to repair, warn of, or correct unsafe conditions on their property, and you have an accident, they may be liable for your injury. The law determines if a property owner or occupier is liable by asking if they took reasonable steps to prevent the accident.
If, for example, an employee was expected to maintain or supervise a particular area, and they did not do so, it is more likely they will be found liable as they knew of the dangerous condition and acted negligently. The property owner or occupier does not have to be directly involved in your injury to still be liable.

Types of Premises Liability Cases
The most common kind of premises liability case involves a slip and fall accident. While this type of accident accounts for a majority of premises liability cases in the Mesa area, many other kinds of accidents could occur on a property. These could include a lack of security at a hotel leading to an assault.
An accident, such as drowning, could occur at a Mesa swimming pool if there is improper pool supervision. If that same swimming pool is inadequately maintained, there may be loose or sharp tiles leading to injury. Faulty machines such as escalators can also present a danger to users.
If you have an accident and are injured at a shop, the business may be liable for your accident and resulting injuries. This will mean the business is liable for your medical expenses, lost wages, emotional hardship, and out of pocket expenses that were a result of the accident. Any accident that is a result of the premises occupier's negligence could lead to a premises liability claim.
What Should You Do if You Have Been Injured in Mesa?
If you have been injured in Mesa, it is important to contact an attorney. The Husband & Wife Law Team comprises skilled attorneys who have experience with Mesa premises liability cases. If you have been injured and intend on bringing a premises liability action, you must document everything correctly. An attorney can help you do this thoroughly and accurately.
A paper trail provides evidence of your injury and any surrounding circumstances in case of a dispute. If you can, it is also a good idea to take photographs of the scene where your injury occurred. If there are any eyewitnesses, you should record their account of the events, as well as your own, as soon as possible after the accident. These components are all important to prove liability and ensure the best outcome for your case.
To bring a successful premises liability case, plaintiffs must prove the property owner or occupier acted negligently by failing to maintain or creating an unsafe condition that caused your accident and resulting injury.
