Premises Liability Attorney In Ridgeland, Mississippi

What Is Premises Liability?

As property owners in Mississippi, a certain degree of care and responsibility is required to ensure the safety of guests and patrons on their premises. Should someone slip on a wet floor at a café or an unsecure piece of art fall on a hotel guest, the property owner could be held liable for any injuries incurred. 


This legal principle, that property owners must ensure their premises are safe, lies at the heart of the responsibilities they owe their patrons. If you find yourself in such a situation, the law office of Louis Burghard in Mississippi, centered on personal injury cases, is ready to support you.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?

Any property hazard left unchecked could hold the owner accountable for injuries inflicted on their guests. Issues such as poor lighting, blockages on pathways, ripped carpets or mats, shaky stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and irregular stair risers must be corrected before welcoming guests. Likewise, slippery floors can create hazardous situations. On the other hand, if the property owner isn't aware of the incident leading to the fall, for instance, a customer breaking a soda bottle and not informing a staff member, the owner might not bear the responsibility. That's why it's crucial for you to consult with Louis Burghard, your dedicated Personal Injury attorney in Mississippi, immediately after the incident to explore the choices you have. To learn more about whether your situation falls under premises liability, connect with Louis Burghard today.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?

The primary step is to secure professional medical help. Make a record of every relevant detail relating to your unfortunate incident. If circumstances allow, revisit the incident location and capture pictures that mirror the conditions resulting in the injury. If this isn't possible, delegate the task to a trusted associate. Should your injury occur within the premises of a business or commercial organization, fill a written report and retain a copy for yourself.
