Liability can involve the property owner, manager, or a defective condition on the premises. Additional parties may share responsibility depending on the circumstances.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, out of pocket costs, and non economic losses like pain and suffering.
A lawyer can handle communications with insurers, gather evidence, and explain your options clearly.
Liability is typically shown by proving duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, along with notice of the hazard when relevant.
