Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable for Serious Injuries
When you are injured on someone else's property due to dangerous, defective, or unsanitary conditions, you may have a Premises Liability claim. In Ohio, property owners, landlords, and businesses have a strict duty of care to maintain a safe environment for all visitors. If their negligence leads to serious injury, they must be held financially accountable.
Our experienced Personal Injury Attorney team specializes exclusively in the complexities of Ohio Premises Liability law. We understand the stringent safety regulations in the Ohio Revised Code and the local building codes that owners must follow. We fight to secure the maximum compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle in Ohio
Our firm represents victims across a wide spectrum of accidents caused by property owner negligence. If your injury occurred on commercial or residential property, we can help:
1. Crime-Related Injury (Negligent Security)
Owners of apartment buildings, hotels, and businesses can be held liable for crime-related injury (e.g., assault or robbery) if they failed to provide adequate security. This includes missing or broken locks, non-functional security cameras, or poor lighting in areas with a history of prior criminal activity (foreseeability).
2. Slip, Trip, and Fall Injury
The most common form of claim, involving serious injuries caused by hazards like unmarked wet floors, broken pavement, inadequate snow or ice removal, torn carpeting, or hidden debris. We challenge the "Open and Obvious" defense by proving the owner failed in their duty to warn or repair.
3. Dog and Animal Attacks
Under Ohio Revised Code § 955.28, dog owners are held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, such as severe bites or attacks. This means proving the dog owner’s negligence is often simplified, making the path to compensation clearer for victims of animal attacks.
4. Injury due to Dangerous or Defective Property Conditions
This covers structural safety failures, including injuries from collapsed decks or balconies, unstable stairwells, missing guardrails, and malfunctioning elevators or escalators that violate the Ohio Building Code.
5. Fire, Smoke, and Carbon Monoxide Injury
We handle catastrophic burns, smoke inhalation, and carbon monoxide poisoning claims arising from the owner's failure to comply with the Ohio Fire Code—including faulty wiring, blocked fire exits, or non-functional smoke and CO detectors (R.C. § 5321.04).
6. Pool and Water Injury
Claims involving drowning or near-drowning are often linked to a property owner's negligence, such as inadequate fencing around a pool, lack of necessary supervision, or defective pool equipment (e.g., faulty anti-entrapment drains).
7. Toxic and Environmental Injury
We represent victims suffering from severe long-term illness due to exposure to hazardous materials like lead poisoning from peeling paint in residential areas, chronic mold exposure from unaddressed water leaks, or chemical spills at commercial sites.
Act Fast: Protecting Your Rights Under Ohio Law (R.C. 2305.10)
In Ohio, the statute of limitations for a Personal Injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident (R.C. § 2305.10). It is critical to contact an attorney immediately. Prompt legal action allows us to quickly investigate the scene, document the dangerous condition, secure surveillance footage, and gather maintenance records before crucial evidence is lost or destroyed.
