Philadelphia Premises Liability Attorney

When people get hurt while spending time on another person’s property, in a local store, or even on a city sidewalk, the property owner is often the one at fault. For example, the property owner or their staff could have created a dangerous area or ignored a problem that already existed, which includes temporary issues like a wet spill in a grocery aisle. Failing to have enough security on the grounds is another way people suffer harm because of a property owner’s negligence. Premises liability is the specific area of injury law that holds these owners accountable for the accidents and injuries that take place on their land or inside their buildings. Quinn Law Group is a Pennsylvania personal injury firm with a team led by founder Sean Quinn, and we have spent years representing clients in slip and fall, negligent security, and other property-related cases.

Helping Premises Liability Accident Victims Throughout Philadelphia

Accidents on dangerous properties happen in many ways and for many reasons, and they can occur almost anywhere from a neighborhood corner store to a large stadium.

• Slip and Fall: These often happen because of a substance left on the floor, like a spilled drink or leaked oil, making the surface slippery until it is finally cleaned. Common causes include leaking refrigerators, freshly mopped tiles without signs, or rainwater tracked into a lobby during a storm.
• Trip and Fall: You might trip because of a physical hazard that needs fixing, such as a broken stair, a deep pothole in a parking lot, or a bunch of loose wires. Temporary blocks like boxes left in an aisle or an unsecured rug can also lead to a dangerous fall.
• Hit by Falling Objects: If a store does not stack its heavy items the right way on high shelves, those items can tumble down and cause brain injuries, neck damage, or broken bones.
• Exposed Wiring: Wires that are not covered can cause an electrical shock, which can lead to permanent nerve damage or even death.
• Elevator and Escalator Accidents: When an elevator does not stop level with the floor or an escalator stops suddenly, it can lead to a serious fall.
• Sidewalk Trip and Fall: Philadelphia is known for its old sidewalks, but cracked or uneven pavement can cause wrist fractures and facial cuts.
• Collapsing Stairs and Decks: When wood rots or a deck is overloaded and the owner does not maintain it, the structure can give way and hurt many people at once.
• Parking Lot Trip and Fall: Deep holes and broken curbs are easy to miss at night and can lead to broken hips, which is especially dangerous for older adults.
• Negligent Security: If a property owner does not keep gates locked or have enough lights and cameras in a parking garage, they might be responsible if someone is attacked or robbed.

How Our Lawyers Help You Win Your Premises Liability Claim

Pennsylvania’s laws regarding property injuries are complex, and winning these cases is rarely a simple task. First, the responsibility of the property owner changes depending on why you were there, such as if you were a business customer, a social guest, or even a trespasser. These categories are technical, and insurance companies often use them to argue they do not owe the victim anything.

If we can show they owed you a duty of care, we still have to prove the owner was negligent, which usually means showing they knew about the danger but did not fix it or warn you. If the hazard was there for a long time, the law says they should have known about it, which is called constructive knowledge. Proving this is often the hardest part of a case, especially when the hazard was something temporary like a spill.

Property owners also try to shift the blame to the victim by saying you should have seen the danger or that you were not looking where you were going. Our team at Quinn Law Group works to build a case that proves the owner was at fault while documenting every bit of your harm. We want to make sure you get the full amount for your past and future medical costs, lost pay, and the impact on your quality of life.
