INJURED ON SOMEONE ELSE’S PROPERTY? CONTACT OUR CONNECTICUT PREMISES LIABILITY LAWYERS.
By definition, premises liability deals with the breach of duties required by an owner or occupier of real estate. Premises liability law governs situations where an individual is injured because of the dangerous conditions of a commercial or residential property. Contact our Connecticut Premises Liability Attorney to learn more.
The laws that define these obligations have been created with the intention of protecting people that are on or near a defective property or where dangerous conditions are present due to owner negligence. According to the United States Department of Justice, premises liability tort cases are second only to automobile cases, and a recent study of 45 of the nation’s largest counties showed that 17 percent of all tort cases were premised liability claims.
At Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, we believe that everyone has the right to expect public or private property to reach the correct minimum safety requirements for that local area. If you have been injured due to a property owner’s negligence, we can help advise if you have grounds to pursue compensation and, if so, the best course of action to take. With offices in Hartford, Bridgeport, New London, Waterbury, and New Haven, our personal injury lawyers fight for the rights of injured people throughout Connecticut.

Recognize The Most Common Premises Liability Cases in CT
While there are many potential areas for property liability to arise – which our attorneys are able to cater to – most types of personal injuries that arise from premises liability cases fall into a consistent group of sources.
This list includes (but is not limited to):
- Falling ceilings
- Fires
- Lack of security cases
- Unsafe structures
- Elevator and escalator failures
- Electrocution
- Unsafe walkways
- Snow and ice accidents
- Construction zone accidents
- Poor retail store maintenance
- Exposure to poisonous substances
- Amusement park accidents
For premises liability laws to be enforced, the defendant must actually possess the land or “property”, and there must also be some type of negligence or any other wrongful act. In recent years, there have also been valid lawsuits filed in instances where a person has been injured on another person’s property by a third person or party (such as an assault).
Admittedly, while many premises liability lawsuits are filed as slip-and-fall accidents, in most states across America, the laws have begun to favor the premises’ owners – simply due to the volume of self-inflicted injuries by people looking for a compensation payout.
