Tucson Premises Liability Attorney

When you visit a mall, neighborhood park, or office, you don’t expect to get injured. These unplanned accidents can disrupt your life, but you can get a reliable legal team on your side to file a premises liability settlement claim. When you are not at fault for your premises liability accident, fair compensation can help you overcome your damages. 

These types of accidents can have serious consequences, which is why it’s important to hire an experienced lawyer who understands slip and fall cases. At Wattel And York LLC, our Tucson premises liability lawyers have the experience and knowledge needed to properly investigate your case

Common Examples Of Premises Liability Claims

Premises liability is a form of personal injury law that deals with injuries suffered by visitors to property owned or maintained by another party. These are just a few examples of the types of premises liability claims that can arise from unsafe or hazardous conditions on someone else’s property.

Slip And Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. When a slip and fall accident occurs as the result of unsafe or hazardous conditions on the premises, it can result in a premises liability claim against the owner or occupier of the property.

Inadequate Security Resulting In Injury Or Assault

Inadequate security can lead to assaults and other dangerous situations. When inadequate security leads to an injury, the property owner may be held liable.

Hazardous Conditions

Examples of hazardous conditions on the property include inadequate lighting, poor maintenance of grounds, wet floors or surfaces that are not clearly marked, open pits or trenches, and unsecured construction materials. Property owners must take reasonable steps to ensure visitors’ safety to avoid premises liability claims. For example, you may have gotten injured due to dangerous stairs on someone else’s property. In this case, the property owner may be held liable for your injuries. 

Animal Attacks

If you are attacked by an animal on someone else’s property, then they may be held liable for your injuries. The owner of the animal must take reasonable steps to ensure that visitors are safe. It is important to note that if the injured person was trespassing on the property or provoking the animal, then the property owner may not be liable for their injuries.

Fault In Premises Liability Claims

In order to determine fault for premises liability, it is important to consider the circumstances of the accident. Tucson premises liability attorneys can investigate your claim to identify whether property owners were negligent in some way. Generally speaking, property owners have a duty to ensure that visitors are reasonably safe while on their property. This means they must exercise reasonable care in maintaining their premises and take any necessary steps to address any dangerous conditions. If the property owner fails to do this, then they may be held liable for any injuries.

Trespassing or Provocation

If the injured person was trespassing or provoking an animal, then they may not be able to pursue a premises liability claim against the property owner.  It is important to speak with an experienced attorney.

Warning Signs

You would not be at fault if there was a warning sign in place and you got into an accident. Even if a warning sign is present, the property owner still has a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner. If they fail to do this, then they may still be held liable for any damages. You may be partially or entirely liable if the warning sign was clearly visible.

Gross Negligence

If you were intoxicated or the hazard was noticeable and easy to avoid, you might be partially or entirely liable for your injuries. Premises liability accidents are all unique, which is why you need an attorney to help you understand your case. 

How Tucson Premises Liability Attorneys Can Help You

Attorneys Update You On Your Claim

What You Should Do After a Premises Liability Accident

When you have been injured due to negligent maintenance or dangerous conditions on another’s property, it is important to take immediate action. Here are some steps you should take: 

Seek Medical Attention

After you have been injured, you should seek medical attention right away. This will document your injuries and ensure that you get proper treatment.

Get Contact Information

If there were any witnesses to the incident, be sure to get their contact information. This can help your premises liability attorney build a strong case.

Take Photos And Videos

Taking photos and videos of the premises can also help in building a case. Be sure to document any dangerous conditions that may have been present.

Avoid Speaking To The Other Party’s Insurer

It is important not to speak with the other party’s insurance agency without first consulting with an attorney. The insurance company may try to persuade you into accepting a settlement that is much lower than what you deserve.

“Amazing people, they had my claim for about a week before they were able to get my truck totaled out. Otherwise I would have been stuck with a truck that had heavy front end damage if they hadn’t stepped in to help me. I tried to deal with my insurance company myself for over a month and that got me nowhere, all I got was a massive headache and a messed up truck. They are very professional and act quickly on your claim. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for help.”

“I was in an accident and decided to call Wattel and York. After months of going to a Chiropractor, I finally felt better. When it came time for settlement, the insurance company was making an offer I wanted to accept, Mr. Wattel advised against it and felt the insurance company was shortchanging me. He recommended I file a lawsuit and that will get them to cave. Well, Dave filed suit, and sure enough, the insurance company increased their offer by $4,000! I am very satisfied with how my case was handled.”

“Wattel & York were flat out outstanding with my personal injury case. They made the process painless and kept in constant communication throughout the entire time. Any questions I might’ve had were promptly answered and detail oriented. They gave me crucial advice that I would’ve otherwise not been aware of. I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Put your trust in these guys, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Wattel & York.”

“Thank you so much for all your hard work on our behalf! Thinking I could handle it on my own, I was originally reluctant to take my accident claim to an attorney. But I am SO glad I called you instead. Your people were always helpful, pleasant and responsive at every step along the way. You represented us with honesty and integrity and made a traumatic experience as painless as it could be. And best of all, you helped us get a settlement that was fair and far more than I could ever have negotiated on my own! I highly recommend Wattel &York to anyone who has suffered a personal injury.”

“I was the passenger in a vehicle that was 'T- Boned' at an intersection in 2014. The issues of responsibility and recovery became a difficult and convoluted confusion. I really needed help. This Team at Wattel and York walked me patiently and encouragingly through difficult months, sorting through issues and finally arriving at a satisfactory conclusion. I especially want to name two great and encouraging "warriors" of Wattel and York who directed me along the way..Brian Torba and Melissa Patterson..to them and the whole team I say "Thank You" with heart felt gratitude. Sincerely, God Bless You.”

“Honesty. Integrity. Transparency. Partnership. Wattel & York brought all of these qualities and more to my accident case. I'd love to thank all of the team members who helped me with the process: David Guzman, who conducted the initial interview in my home, Aly Shomar-Esparza, who seamlessly guided me through paperwork and filings, Debbie Harrach, who conducted final review, paperwork revisions and scheduling, and Thomas Grisoni, who counseled me before and attended my deposition. I never felt alone during the arduous process and always knew there was a professional team looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend Wattel & York if you are unfortunately involved in an accident that was not your fault.”

“I was a passenger in a car that got t-boned a few years ago and got a huge gash. I didn't know a lot about lawyers, so I basically just picked one on the flip of a coin. I called Wattel and York and they explained everything, I went into the office and filled out paperwork. Got treatment on my gash over the time I worked with them, glad I did as it opened back up a couple times and bled. They did really good, got me the maximum amount of money, and made sure I was well taken care of. I was updated from time to time so that was good. The only thing I might change is I never got to thank or talk to my lawyer. I think it was because I was already used to dealing with the lady at their Glendale office so they just kept her as my point of contact. So it's okay, I'll thank them with a good review. The last thing I could say about them is months after I thought my case was over they called me and said they had another check for me for a few hundred dollars. Apparently, they negotiated with the hospital I went to after the accident. It was a nice surprise and shows they really had my interests in mind.”

Trent B.

“Wattel & York has been great for me in the past few years. I was involved in a really bad accident while I was on Active Duty in Yuma, Arizona and they have been patient with me every step of the way through a very long process. I would recommend them to anyone thank you for all your help.”

Levy G.

“Appreciate David taking the time to speak with me. He was most kind. From the front line with the receptionist, to him, the firm was a class act all the way around.”

Claire B.

“Dave Wattel represented me and my son on a Personal Injury case from a motor vehicle accident back in 2009. Jake P. handled my deposition and Dave did the Quarterbacking. The insurance company hired NFL referee Ed Hochuli's firm to try and deny our claim. But Wattel & York made it look as easy as Tom Brady on the football field. The result was more than acceptable and my son and I were compensated for our injuries and rehabilitation. Dave Wattel cares about his clients. If I ever find myself in a situation like this again, Wattel & York will be on speed dial!!”
