We can work on a variety of premises liability cases, such as:
Premises liability claims are complicated because they introduce the legal concepts of invitees, licensees, and trespassers. Every person on someone else’s property will fit one of these concepts under the law. The type of visitor you were at the time of your accident will impact your case’s validity and your chances of recovering full compensation.
Property owners owe different duties of care to the following types of visitors:
The duty of care that a property owner owes to someone is highest when considering invitees. It is lower for licensees and even lower for trespassers. By this legal logic, it is easier for you to bring forth a valid premises liability claim as an invitee than as either a licensee or a trespasser.
Did your premises liability accident happen while you were on a commercial or industrial property, like a retail store, grocery store, or mall? There might have been security cameras in the area that recorded your accident. But, even if you report your accident to the property owner the same day that it happened, there is no guarantee that they will save that footage. The security system they use could delete the footage automatically in a few days.
Our Portland and Clackamas premises liability attorneys can contact the property owner and instruct them to save the security camera footage they have from the day of your accident. If they receive this notice from our legal team and still allow the footage to be lost, then it can look bad for their defense. However, we need to send them this notice as soon as possible, so we advise you to call our firm at (503) 966-8654 within the next 24 or 48 hours after your accident.
