Premises Liability

Boston Area Premises Liability Claims

If you or a family member has been seriously injured on someone else's residential or commercial property, it is important to have the case evaluated by an attorney promptly. The sooner a lawyer is on the job regarding a slip and fall injury or other premises liability claim, the more likely it is that important evidence can be preserved. Evidence that demonstrates a property owner's negligence will help build a stronger case even when strict premises liability applies.

Attorney Kenneth Martin Knee: Tough Litigator

To schedule a consultation after you have suffered a serious injury on a staircase, in an elevator, or in some other way contact me, Kenneth Martin Knee, to discuss a premises liability claim with an experienced attorney. I am known for taking on difficult cases. I am often brought onto an existing injury case by another lawyer who is aware of my talent for formulating winning trial strategies.

Preparing Every Case as if for Trial

Not every injury case that we accept goes to trial. However, we work a case from the beginning from the assumption that we will be presenting facts and arguments to a jury. This mindset helps us develop compelling arguments that are most likely to help us win for our clients, even when that win is accomplished through a pre-trial settlement with insurers.

Common Premises Liability Scenarios

Frequent causes of injury on private property often include the following:

• Stairway falls
• Falls involving stair or balcony rails that were improperly fixed to a wall or floor
• Collapse of a wall, ceiling, or floor
• Collapse of a deck, porch, or balcony
• Flooded toilets and other water leaks
• Conditions caused by disrepair or failure to maintain property
• Failure to warn customers of a known hazard such as spilled liquid on a grocery store floor

The Value of Expert Opinion

To develop the strongest possible case for maximum compensation of an accident victim who has suffered a bone fracture, head injury, or any type of serious or catastrophic injury, it is often necessary to bring in expert witnesses of various kinds. Structural engineers and other professionals may discover, for example, that a home was remodeled by unlicensed contractors who committed code violations.
