Accidents that occur in retail stores, supermarkets, apartment buildings, or even in private homes, all fall under the category of premises accidents. Property owners, tenants, management companies, cleaning companies, etc. all have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition.

When a supermarket refrigerated case is leaking water into the aisle and the store employees knew or should have known about the wet conditions, that supermarket must be held responsible for injuries that occur to innocent shoppers.

If you are in your bathroom brushing your teeth and the ceiling collapses upon you, the property manager and building owner needs to take responsibility. In almost all cases, they do not accept responsibility, and try to blame you, the injured victim. That is why you need serious injury attorneys to fight on your behalf to make you whole again.
