Holding Property Owners Responsible For Negligence
Falls on another’s property, whether it is in a public place or private property are often difficult to prove. But property owners are responsible for their property, and you have every right to take steps to hold them accountable for their negligence. The process is difficult, but it is also a path we understand well.
The Responsibilities Of Property Owners
Under New Hampshire law, every property owner or business proprietor has duties to visitors to their site. This generally includes:
- Maintaining safe walking areas
- Providing warnings when there is a dangerous condition
- Blocking dangerous areas
- Removing major hazards
In addition, a property owner may still have some responsibility to those on their property without permission, such as those trespassing on the property. In general, the responsibilities to trespassers aren’t as extensive.
What Injured Victims Deserve
If you’ve injured yourself due to the negligence of a property owner who left slipping and tipping hazards in their space, you can collect compensation for all of your injury treatment and rehabilitation. If you’ve experienced a loss of time at work or lost wages, you may be able to recover those as well.
Building Your Legal Case
To build your case, we will investigate all of the evidence – including injury reports, photographic evidence and any video surveillance – and craft your case around our findings. Our job is to convince the judge and the jury that it is “more likely than not” that your injury was caused by the property owner’s negligence.
The “more likely than not” burden of proof is called a “preponderance of the evidence,” and it is a much lower burden of proof than in a criminal charge.
