North Carolina premises liability lawyers
When dangerous property conditions cause accidents and injury, there may be grounds to sue the property manager or owner for damages.

Slip and fall accidents
Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability case. A minor scrape or bruise is what most people associate with a slip and fall. However, some falls result in concussions, damaged discs, or fractured bones. In the worst case scenarios, the person may suffer from paralysis or brain injury, or even die. You should seek legal advice if you suspect that negligence caused you or a loved one to experience a serious slip and fall injury.
Inadequate security cases
People have the right to reasonable security when frequenting parking lots, shopping centers, resorts, football stadiums, and other public areas. Muggings, rapes, and other criminal attacks that result in injury are often preventable. When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, such as good lighting, locks, alarms, surveillance cameras, and security guards, they may be held liable under premises liability law.
Dog bites and animal attacks
Property owners must take reasonable precautions to prevent unprovoked dog bites and animal attacks on their grounds. Read more>>
