Premises Liability

Wisconsin Premises Liability Lawyer

The owner or manager of a property is required by law to maintain it in a reasonably safe manner. When a visitor to the property is injured or dies due to negligence leading to unsafe premises, there may be grounds for a lawsuit. Common premises liability claims arise from slip and falls, swimming pool accidents, trampolines, and negligent security. Attorney Eugene A. Gasiorkiewicz at the Racine law firm, Hanson & Gasiorkiewicz, S.C., has over thirty years of experience in recovering compensation for victims of personal injuries such as these.

Slip and fall accidents—the numbers:

• 25,000 slip and fall injuries require hospital care every day.
• Every hour an elderly American dies as a result of a fall.
• Slip and falls are the second leading cause of injuries in the United States.
• 40% of workers' compensation claims paid out are for slip and falls.
• Slip and falls are the most common cause of accidents in homes, hotels, restaurants, and public buildings.
• 70% of slip and falls occur on level surfaces.*

Swimming pool and trampoline accidents:

Owners of swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas in hotels, amusement parks, and on private property are responsible for taking reasonable measures to protect young children from accidental drowning. The owner of a trampoline is responsible for maintaining the structure in reasonably safe condition and providing supervision. If your child was injured on another's property, the property owner may be responsible for your loss.

Assaults due to negligent security

A parking lot, an unlit stairwell, an apartment building hallway—a visitor to property has a right to reasonable security. If you or a member of your family were a victim of a violent or sexual assault due to poor building security, you may have a premises liability claim.
