Imperial Valley Dangerous Premises Attorney
Many people are under the assumption that pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents are only caused by collisions with motor vehicles. However, while the majority of these accidents involve negligent motorists, it is important to recognize that these accidents can also be caused by things like dangerous premises.
A dangerous premise is any property that has defects or hazardous conditions that may cause injury to visitors of the property. For example, if a store parking lot is covered in ice, it would be considered a dangerous premise. When people visit premises that have hazardous conditions and they are injured, they may be allowed to file a premises liability lawsuit against the owner of the property. By filing a lawsuit, injured people may be allowed to collect certain types of economic and non-economic damages.
Premises Liability & Bicycle/Pedestrian Accidents
Anytime bikers or pedestrians are involved in a premises liability accident that causes them to sustain serious bodily injuries, they may take legal action against property owners. However, in order to be successful with their legal endeavors, they must be able to prove that:
- Dangerous conditions existed on the premises
- Property owners knew the dangerous conditions existed, but did nothing to fix the conditions
- Property owners failed to provide adequate warnings that dangerous conditions were present
- Dangerous conditions caused their accidents and their injuries
Proving these factors is crucial to the success of any premises liability case. All premises liability cases revolve around the concept of property owner negligence, which is why injured bikers and pedestrians must be able to prove that property owners engaged in negligent practices. In order to do this, dangerous premises victims will need help from an experienced personal injury lawyer, like Mark Bush.
