What Is Premises Liability?

When Property Owners Are Responsible in Maryland

Owners and managers must keep property reasonably safe or warn about hazards they know-or should know-exist. If they fail and you're injured, they can be held accountable. We explain how notice, cleanup practices, and inspection logs affect your case.

Common Slip, Trip & Fall Scenarios

From Store Spills to Broken Stairs

We handle slips on spills in markets and restaurants, trips on raised sidewalks and loose mats, falls on icy walkways, and injuries caused by missing handrails or poor lighting. Landlord negligence cases-including unsafe apartment stairs-are also part of our practice.

Injuries We Commonly See

Falls can cause wrist, hip, or ankle fractures, concussions, and spine injuries. We coordinate with your providers to document treatment and long-term limitations so insurers understand the full impact.

Proving a Slip & Fall Claim

Success often turns on proof that a dangerous condition existed long enough that it should have been fixed. We secure incident reports, request security video, interview witnesses, and address defenses like Maryland's contributory negligence, which insurers use to deny valid claims.

Working with Businesses and Insurers

We notify the business, seek preservation of video, and negotiate from a record that shows hazard, notice, and harm. If a fair offer doesn't come, we're ready to file suit and present your case.

Questions After a Slip & Fall

 Answers to Common Premises Liability Questions

  • If there was a "wet floor" sign, do I still have a case?

    Possibly-if the hazard remained unreasonably dangerous or the sign wasn't visible.

  • Will a friend's homeowners insurance cover my injuries?

    Often yes; claims usually go through insurance, not out of pocket.

  • How long do I have to file?

    Most claims must be filed within three years; act sooner to preserve evidence.

  • What if I was looking at my phone?

    Insurers may argue distraction; we analyze the facts and push back where reasonable.
