Every day, people put their trust in others that they’ll maintain a property in a secure and safe manner. From the corner supermarket to a place of employment, a property that is inadequately maintained can cause serious injuries to workers, patrons, and visitors.

Those who are injured in an accident on property that belongs to another person may be entitled to bring a premises liability claim against the property owner. While slip and fall accidents are, far and away, the leading cause of these claims, there are countless other scenarios that can result in serious injury. Property owners, or the person in charge of a property, are responsible for ensuring the property is as safe as possible and free of dangers.

Our Tupelo premises liability lawyers know that there is more to being an effective litigator than having decades of experience successfully representing injured clients.
