Premise Liability
Business establishments, stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, hotels and short term rentals all have a duty to protect people on their premises. Ways to protect people are through adequate security, adequate lighting, proper safety railings, proper colored painting and many other options. Businesses must take reasonable steps to ensure all are safe on their premise. The business has a duty to keep people safe from construction defects as well as keep people safe from criminal activity. Unfortunately, many businesses do not take the necessary care they should and that negligence puts everyone at risk of serious injury or even death. When a business’ negligence causes an injury to a person on their premise, that person has a right to recover for their damages. If you have suffered an injury as the result of someone else’s negligence, Philip C. Hoffman can help you secure the financial compensation you deserve.
