Managers and Owners of Property Have A Duty to Keep Those Who Are Lawfully On Their Property Safe.

For both business and residential property, it is expected under the law that an owner or manager of a property maintain the premises in a safe condition to prevent injury to those who lawfully are on the property.  Those who fail to do so are negligent.   If that negligence caused injuries to a person lawfully on the premises, the injured person has the right to bring a lawsuit against the owner/manager of that property for compensation. This can include all medical bills, wages that are lost during the time of recovery, and pain and suffering.  If the injuries suffered do not fully resolve the claim for injuries will include further compensation for future pain and suffering and future medical bills.

Common examples of owner or manager negligence involve keeping floors and walkways free of liquids and conditions that can cause people to slip and fall.   Potholes or ice that cannot be seen are additional situations where owners and managers must assume responsibility for injuries caused.  Other premises cases could involve faulty decks, railings, uneven walkways, or falling debris.

Examples of unsafe property cases that caused serious injuries that have been successfully handled Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg are:

Construction Injuries

Injuries at construction sites occur daily due to the fact that unfinished structural and machinery are present.  Mistakes happen at construction sites and individuals at the construction site are often not employed directly by the contractor.  If you are injured on a construction site and you are not employed by the owner of the property or the contractor who is in charge of the building site, you have the right to make a claim for compensation.

Dog Bites

People young and old are attacked daily by dogs.   Some dogs are vicious by nature, some bite unexpectedly.  People who are bitten by a dog or injured by an attack have the right to make a claim for damages against the owner of the dog.  At Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg we immediately obtain any and all information concerning the dog and its owner.  In Wisconsin a property owner’s home owners insurance coverage will cover injuries caused by dog attacks.   Insurance companies however often defend dog bite cases based on the negligence of the injured person.  An example of negligence may be an unsupervised child being left with a vicious dog, or allowed to come within feet of a dog and startling the dog.  Dog bite cases are classified in Wisconsin as Premise Liability cases.  If are the victim of a dog bite or attack contact Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg for an attorney experienced in handling dog bite cases. See our section on Dog Bites.

Drowning Cases

Owning a swimming pool or hot tub for a family can be a great source of enjoyment.  Owning a swimming pool or hot tub with small children in the home, if not continually supervised can also lead to catastrophic real life experiences.  Drowning accidents happen at residences often because of negligent supervision of children.   Drowning accidents can also occur in public facilities due to negligent supervision by a lifeguard.   The expansion of many large waterparks and resorts has resulted in an overall increase in drowning cases.  A drowning can also occur on lakes or rivers due to negligent adult supervision.  Any body of water large or small represents a source for potentially a catastrophic injury due to lack of supervision.  That type of case is a premise liability case and should be immediately investigated by a Law Firm knowledgeable and experienced in handling premise cases.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall injuries can occur on a residential property due to owner’s negligence, at an apartment complex due to manager negligence or at a public facility open to patrons such as a restaurant or hotel.  Common situations that lead to slip and falls are unsafe surfaces where guests are expected to walk.  The most common condition in the state of Wisconsin is ice due to freezing water.  However, slip and falls also can occur outside due to the pooling of water in a pot hole that has not been repaired, and indoors due to slippery surfaces or areas of improper lighting where guests encountered obstacles.  If a serious injury occurs due to a slip or trip and fall inside or outside an attorney experienced in handling premise cases should immediately be contacted to investigate and preserve all evidence.    In Wisconsin, like most states, insurance companies commonly defend slip and fall cases by using evidence which shows other persons encountering the same condition were not injured.  If you have been injured gather whatever information and evidence you can but do not provide a statement to the insurance company.
