Premises Liability Attorney

Experiencing an injury can be a traumatic experience, particularly when it occurs in a space that you trust to be safe. Not only is there physical pain to contend with, but the emotional effects and financial impacts cannot be underestimated. However, Kansas premises liability law protects those who have been hurt on another person’s property, ensuring that you receive the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, loss of work, and other costs.

What is Premises Liability?

The legal concept of premises liability addresses a property owner’s responsibility to maintain a safe, hazard-free environment for guests. Both public and private properties, such as homes and stores, can be held responsible for injuries that occur as a result of a preventable accident. Generally, guidelines allow a victim to pursue a lawsuit against a property owner if the accident was caused by a hazardous condition that was not properly addressed.
