Arkansas Premises Liability (Slip and Fall) AttorneyThe personal injury lawyers at Niblock & Bueker have years of experience representing the victims of premises liability injuries in Arkansas. Premises Liability cases are also known as slip and fall cases. We have a team of aggressive, professional lawyers to handle the claims of people who have suffered serious injuries. Claims are based on someone suffering an injury due to slipping, tripping, or falling as a result of a dangerous condition that existed because the owner of the property was negligent in preventing it. Premises liability cases must be handled carefully. In an era when a jury finds premises liability for injuries suffered by an elderly lady who spilled coffee in her lap, it may seem that a premises liability case is easy to prove. This is a misconception.Premises can be defined as a building, and or the land it is on. Whatever happens on those premises is the responsibility of the owner of the premises and is therefore liable. For instance, let’s say you live in an old neighborhood, with old trees. Some of the sidewalk in front of your house is buckled up from the tree’s roots growing underneath. If someone trips over the sidewalk on your premises, you may be liable for that person’s injuries and damages may be awarded as a result. This is just one example, there are many more situations that can lead to a slip & fall lawsuit. Slippery floors, broken stairs, missing railings, poor lighting, loose carpet, or malfunctioning equipment may cause a slip & fall injury. A premises liability claim may be filed as a result of any condition that causes injury that could have been avoided, had the property owner acted to prevent the injury from occurring. Some examples possible premises liability cases include:
