Advocates for People Injured by Negligent Property Owners– Jackson Premises Liability Lawyer

When you experience a dog attack or a fall on a wet floor, owners of commercial, public or residential property can be liable for failing to provide adequate warning or neglecting to clear the hazard.  Although property owners are not required to act as insurers for the safety of those who come on their premises, they often have a legal duty to advise visitors of non-obvious hazards and to keep their property reasonably safe.  When you are injured in an accident or animal attack on the premises of another, you may suffer severe life-altering physical injuries, severe emotional distress, financial hardships and a long difficult process of rehabilitation.

Mississippi premises liability attorney William Kellum III recognizes the severe pain and financial difficulties experienced by those injured by premises with unsafe conditions.  Because Mr. Kellum has been representing those injured on the premises of others for nearly a decade, he can provide effective representation involving all types of premises liability claims which include:

• Slip and fall accidents on wet or sticky floors
• Dog bites, attacks and maulings
• Violent physical and sexual assaults resulting from negligent security
• Swimming pool drowning
• Trip and falls on uneven flooring, debris, uneven pavement or merchandise in walkways
• Spa entrapment accidents
• Accident on or around construction sites

These are only a few of the types of premises liability claims that Mr. Kellum is qualified to pursue against colleges, grocery stores, department stores, restaurants, apartment owners, public entities, businesses and private homeowners.  If you fall in a supermarket or you are hit by a falling object near a construction site, effective litigation of a premises liability claim involves a prompt investigation.  These types of accidents on the property of others are fact intensive cases, so Mr. Kellum promptly undertakes an appropriate investigation into issues that include:

• The basis for your presence on the premises
• Amount of time that the hazardous condition has been present
• Evidence supporting actual or constructive knowledge of the property owner
• Compliance with building and safety ordinances, codes and regulations
• Degree to which the hazard was open and obvious
• Adequacy of warnings or barriers used to protect or warn visitors
• Actions taken by the property owner to remedy the unsafe condition
• Origin of the hazard (naturally occurring or created by the property owner)

Because these cases turn on their unique facts, time is of the essence in terms of contacting an experienced Jackson premises liability attorney who can undertake an investigation and analyze the facts to craft a compelling claim for damages.  Our investigation will focus on heading off common insurance company defenses like shifting blame to the victim or denying that the property owner should have known the hazard existed.
