Liability for lack of protection

A premises liability claim can also be filed if you are hurt in a third party criminal attack. The owner of the property is obliged to keep the premises in reasonably safe condition, and a lack of security on the premises is evidence of negligence. This type of premises liability claim may be filed when the owner has shown a failure to—

  • Properly train security personnel
  • Adequately supervise employees
  • Maintain an active surveillance system
  • Provide emergency first response

Animal owners are also responsible for protecting other people from injury by their own pets:

  • Dog bites
  • Pit bull attacks
  • Dogs who jump up on people causing injury
  • Injuries caused by other animals

Dog Bites

If you have been hurt or bitten by a dog you may have the right to be compensated for your pain, suffering, medical bills, loss of income, emotional distress and other damages. If the bite left a scar you may also be entitled to compensation for the scar and its effect on your appearance. Dog bites can cause severe injury or even death. Bite wounds can become infected. Rabies or gangrene may result. Contact an experienced Bucks county injury lawyer at our law firm now so that we can help you.

Under Pennsylvania Worker's Compensation laws, you may be entitled to receive wage loss benefits, medical benefits, or other benefits. You do not have to prove whose fault the accident was. There is no fee unless we win benefits for you (or stop your benefits from being cut off). Is your employer or worker’s compensation company giving you a hard time? Are you losing time or money from work because of your injury? Call us now so that we can help you.
