The Donahey Law Firm

Personal Injury Lawyers in Ohio – Premises Injuries

In Ohio, a property owner can be held liable for injuries to a party that occurred due to unsafe conditions on their property. In such cases, there is an issue of foreseeability. This means that the court will be asked to decide whether the property owner or homeowner could have or should have foreseen that an accident could occur.

Types of Premises Liability Cases

Animal Attacks

From dogs to livestock, animal-related injuries can be serious. They can require hospitalization and even cause permanent physical damage. When legal action is required to get the compensation you need, contact The Donahey Law Firm. You can learn more about your rights after a dog bite or other animal attack by visiting our Animal Attacks page.

Despite being strictly governed by laws and regulations at the state and municipal levels, many elevators and escalators are negligently maintained. When lifts and escalators fall into disrepair, it can lead to serious injuries and death.

At The Donahey Law Firm, we know how to build a case that proves the property owner’s liability in such situations– which can be a surprisingly difficult task under Ohio law. We also know how to value your claim to encompass the cost of your total harm.

A fall down a staircase can cause severe, disabling injuries, such as brain trauma, spinal cord trauma, and even death. Often, it can be hard to prove that an injured party’s own negligence or clumsiness did not cause the fall. The Donahey Law Firm is skilled at proving how the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries.

Property owners often repair a dangerous condition immediately after they learn that a fall occurred. Fortunately, Ohio has strict laws concerning floors, stairways, and railings. If a handrail, step, or landing fails to comply with the law – even by as little as an inch – it profoundly increases the likelihood of a fall. The Donahey Law Firm will thoroughly investigate your claim to find any dangerous conditions that lead to your injuries.

Insufficient lighting is to blame for innumerable falls and missteps, both indoors and outdoors. A lack of lighting can also contribute to assaults and other acts of violence. Whether your injuries occurred in a dark parking lot or a dimly lit stairwell, you may have the right to collect compensation for the harm you suffered.

Lead poisoning is usually attributed to a living environment where lead-based paint has not been sufficiently removed according to law. Children may eat paint chips and accumulate dangerous levels of lead in their bloodstream.

Side effects of lead poisoning include:

Kidney damage
Behavioral and Developmental Problems
Seizures
Anemia
Muscle weakness
Reduced IQ

A simple blood test can reveal whether or not your child is suffering from lead poisoning. If your child has been harmed by lead paint, contact The Donahey Law Firm for a case evaluation.

Insufficient security can lead to crimes of violence which cause serious bodily harm. In these instances, the victim may be able to hold the property owner liable.

Negligent security cases are difficult, requiring the plaintiff-victim to prove that the property owner knew about the lack of proper security and failed to supply it. This is why it is so important to hire a professional, experienced premises liability attorney in Columbus, Ohio to represent your case.

Inadequate security can arise from a variety of situations, including:

Security cameras that are either not working, broken, or not functioning properly.
Broken or disabled door locks in common areas.
Broken door locks in apartments.
Insufficient lighting in parking lots, stairwells, hallways, and common areas.
Ignorance of recurring criminal activity that jeopardizes the safety of tenants and visitors.

If you have been injured due to a fall on another person’s property, the property owner will undoubtedly argue that your harm was caused by your own negligence or clumsiness. The owner may also fix the dangerous issue that caused you harm in the first place and deny its existence.

In slip-and-fall accidents, our experienced injury lawyers near Columbus, Ohio at The Donahey Law Firm know how to build up the strength of your premises liability lawsuit.
