A premises liability accident can occur just about anywhere in the city and be substantially different from one another.

• slipping on ice in a parking lot or on private property
• getting hurt in a parking structure or at an apartment building
• falling over extension cords or other potentially harmful situations
• falling at a friend's place or an Airbnb after tripping over uneven tile
• dog bites or attacks by other animals
• accidents in swimming pools, drownings, and near-drownings
• assaults on a property due to poor security or lighting

Any of these situations can result in serious injuries and require hospitalization. A slip and fall, the most common type of premises liability accident, can require surgery and physical therapy. The average medical cost of a slip and fall accident is between $30,000 and $40,000, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

A skilled premises liability attorney can negotiate or litigate a settlement with the property owner or their insurance company so that you can receive the compensation you need to cover all damages.

These are some common areas to look for compensation for premises liability victims:

• Medical costs: People hurt in premises liability accidents may be eligible for reimbursement for costs associated with their injuries, such as prescription drugs, hospital stays, and doctor visits.
• Lost wages: If injuries from a premises liability accident keep a victim from working, they may be eligible for compensation for lost wages.
• Pain and suffering: Injuries resulting in bodily pain, emotional discomfort, or mental agony may qualify a victim of a premises liability accident for compensation.
• Property damage: People who are hurt in accidents involving premises responsibility may be able to get compensation for harm done to their own belongings, including a broken laptop or phone.
• Punitive damages: Designed to penalize the offender for especially heinous behavior, victims of premises liability incidents may occasionally be entitled to punitive damages.
