Montgomery County Premises Liability Lawyers

Even if you have noticed an unsafe condition just moments before experiencing a slip and fall incident on someone else's property, your entitlement to seek compensation remains nuanced. The determining factors revolve around the specific circumstances at play. If the hazard were skillfully concealed or not immediately obvious to the average person, and another reasonably cautious visitor would not have readily perceived the potential danger, the property owner might be liable for the resulting injury.

In such cases, your awareness of the hazard before the mishap does not necessarily preclude you from pursuing a claim for damages. Conversely, if the hazardous condition was open and obvious, meaning a prudent individual would have readily recognized the potential risk, your eligibility for compensation could be compromised, irrespective of whether you took notice of the hazard before the accident occurred. Navigating this legal terrain with precision requires the expertise of a seasoned Montgomery County premises liability attorney. Their insights will prove invaluable in assessing the subtleties of your situation and guiding you toward the most appropriate course of action to secure the compensation you deserve.

What damages can be recovered through a premises liability case?

In premises liability cases, the spectrum of recoverable compensation is divided into two categories: economic and non-economic damages. The extent and nature of these recoverable damages hinge on the severity of your injury and various contextual factors. Economic damages are calculated by tangible losses, including medical expenses incurred due to your injury, the value of earnings lost during your recovery period, and potential diminishment in future earning capacity. These financial aspects are quantifiable and provide a clear basis for compensation.

On the other hand, non-economic losses delve into the intangible impact of the incident, including factors such as mental distress, enduring pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and emotional anguish.
