Premises Liability

Rockville, Maryland, Premises Liability Lawyer

Many people are injured each year by dangerous property conditions in stores and businesses, in parking lots and in people's homes. If you or a family member has been hurt due to property owner negligence, you have a right to be compensated for both your financial losses and any damages such as pain and suffering. At the Law Offices of Michael G. Banks in Rockville, Maryland, our goal is to help you obtain the full compensation you deserve.

There are many different kinds of accidents and injuries that involve premises liability:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Rapes and other assaults caused by negligent security
• Falling merchandise in stores that injure shoppers
• Falls on poorly constructed or unsafe stairs
• Falls on cracked or uneven sidewalks
• Injuries caused by dangerous property conditions, such as holes and other tripping hazards

Whether you have a premises liability case that is worth pursuing will depend on both liability and damages.For example, even if you slipped and fell over a spilled substance in a store that should have been cleaned up, your case will not be worth any money unless you suffered damages as a result. Attorney Michael G. Banks will offer you a practical assessment of your premises liability case after reviewing your account of the accident and your medical records.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident:

• Report the accident to the property owner or manager
• Seek prompt medical attention
• Preserve evidence (photos of damages, photos of the property conditions before they are remedied and copies of medical records)
• Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation

If we believe you have a case, we will negotiate with the insurance company of the property owner for a full recovery. We handle all premises liability cases on a contingency fee basis. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a percentage of your recovery. If we are not able to make a recovery for you, our legal services will not cost you anything.
