Holding Property Owners Responsible for Accidents
When a property owner's negligence leads to a serious personal injury or wrongful death, the property owner should be held responsible. With more than 25 years of experience, the attorneys at the law firm of Goforth & Lilley understand how to do just that. We are constantly involved in these cases, meaning that we are well aware of recent changes in the law regarding what needs to be proven to get results in these cases.
We know exactly what we have to prove and we know how to prove it. When you turn to us for help with your premises liability case, you will see that we are willing to go the distance in order to get you fair compensation.
Premises Liability Cases Involving Businesses
The vast majority of premises liability cases in Lafayette and the surrounding parts of Louisiana are the result of negligence on the part of business owners. These cases involve accidents that could have been prevented, had the business owner acted appropriately.
These cases include restaurant accidents, mall accidents, department store accidents, gas station accidents and more. Some examples of these accidents include:
- Objects falling from shelves
- Slip and falls on wet surfaces left behind after spills
- Trip and falls over objects in walkways or over defective flooring
Premises Liability Cases Involving Residential Property
These cases can also involve accidents to visitors or tenants of residential properties, such as homes or apartment buildings.
Many of these cases involve buildings that do not comply with local building codes. They typically involve accidents caused by defective stairs, loose handrails, or cracked and uneven sidewalks.
Premises liability cases may even involve assaults that were the result of a landlord's failure to install or maintain proper locks or security devices.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Get Results
Premises liability cases are typically handled on a contingency basis. This means that you are not expected to pay any legal fees or expenses unless you get compensation.
