Premises Liability Wrongful Death Lawyers 

When Negligence Turns Deadly: Your Rights Matter 

Accidents happen every day. But when they occur because someone else didn’t take care of their property, the outcome can be life changing. If you or someone you love has been hurt, you’ve got options.  

Premises liability cases cover everything from slip-and-falls to tragic, fatal injuries caused by neglected hazards. If you’re dealing with a slip and fall injury claim, knowing your rights by consulting with an experienced wrongful death attorney is the first step toward justice. 

The experienced wrongful death lawyers at Horn Wright, LLP, understands the emotional toll and legal complexities involved. Let’s fight for the peace of mind you need to rebuild. 

The Hidden Dangers Lurking in Everyday Places 

Property owners are responsible for keeping their spaces safe. When they don’t, people get hurt. And that’s when premises liability cases come into play. 

Some of the most common—and most dangerous—premises liability cases include: 

• Slip and fall accidents – Wet floors, icy walkways, and uneven surfaces send over 1 million people to the ER every year. 
• Inadequate security – Dimly lit parking lots, broken locks, and a lack of security lead to higher crime rates. In fact, violent crimes commonly happen in parking areas. 
• Swimming pool accidents – Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for kids under 4. Many of these tragedies happen in pools with poor fencing or supervision. 
• Falling objects – Every year, falling objects injure more than 50,000 people, whether from construction sites or poorly stacked merchandise. 
• Dog bites – More than 4.5 million dog bites happen annually, with children being the most at risk. 

If a property owner knew—or should have known—about a dangerous condition and did nothing, you may have a strong case for an unsafe premises lawsuit. 

Wrongful Death: When an Accident Shouldn’t Have Happened 

A fatal accident caused by unsafe property conditions isn’t just tragic—it’s preventable. Our fatal accident legal representation ensures that property owners are held accountable for their negligence. 

Some heartbreaking but avoidable situations include: 

• A fatal slip-and-fall – Falls are the number one cause of accidental injury in the US. 
• Deadly assaults in unsecured areas – When a property owner doesn’t take crime risks seriously, innocent lives are at stake. 
• Drowning in poorly maintained pools – 3,400 people drown every year in the U.S. Many of these cases involve unsafe pools. 
• Structural failures – Collapsing balconies, weak staircases, or poor building maintenance have led to tragic deaths. 

A wrongful death lawsuit won’t bring back your loved one. But it can help ease financial stress and hold negligent parties accountable. Speaking with a personal injury lawyer at Horn Wright, LLP, can help you understand the full scope of the rights you have available. 

What It Takes to Win: The Must-Have Elements of Your Case 

To prove a premises liability or wrongful death claim, you’ll need to show: 

1. Duty of Care – The property owner had a legal responsibility to keep their property safe. 
2. Breach of Duty – They failed to meet that responsibility, creating dangerous conditions. 
3. Causation – Their negligence directly caused the injury or death. 
4. Damages – The victim suffered financial, physical, or emotional harm. 

For wrongful death cases, you’ll also need to show how the loss has impacted surviving family members. If you’re unsure about your case, a premises liability attorney consultation can help clarify your legal options. 

Filing a Claim: What to Expect 

Taking legal action can feel overwhelming, but understanding the process helps: 

1. Investigation – We gather evidence: photos, witness statements, security footage—you name it. 
2. Filing a Claim – We submit a legal complaint against the party responsible. 
3. Negotiation – We push for a fair settlement with insurance companies. 
4. Litigation – If they won’t play fair, we take the case to court. 

Every state has deadlines for filing premises liability and wrongful death claims. Don’t wait—time isn’t on your side. 

What’s at Stake: The Compensation You Deserve 

If you’re dealing with an injury or loss caused by property negligence, you may be entitled to financial recovery, including: 

• Medical bills – The average injury-related hospital stay costs over $10,000. 
• Lost wages – If you can’t work, you shouldn’t have to worry about lost income. 
• Pain and suffering – Physical and emotional distress impacts every part of life. 

For wrongful death cases, families may also recover: 

• Funeral and burial expenses – The average funeral costs over $7,000. 
• Loss of future earnings – A loved one’s lost income can have lasting financial effects. 
• Loss of companionship – While money can’t replace a person, it can ease financial stress.
