Berks County Premises Liability Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Berks County premises liability lawyers help victims recover compensation after being injured on unsafe or poorly maintained property.

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, innocent people can suffer serious, even life-changing injuries. At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County premises liability attorneys help victims hold negligent property owners, landlords, and businesses accountable for unsafe conditions that cause harm.

If you’ve been injured because someone failed to maintain their property or warn you about a dangerous condition, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility that property owners have to ensure their property is reasonably safe for those who enter. When they neglect this duty — by ignoring hazards, delaying repairs, or failing to provide adequate warnings — they can be held financially responsible for resulting injuries.

Common examples of premises liability cases include:

  • Slip and fall accidents caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting
  • Trip and fall injuries from cracked sidewalks or torn carpeting
  • Falling objects in stores, warehouses, or construction sites
  • Dog bites or animal attacks on private property
  • Negligent security leading to assault or theft
  • Swimming pool accidents or drownings
  • Elevator and escalator malfunctions

At Wilk Law Firm, we thoroughly investigate every detail of your case to determine exactly how and why the property owner was negligent — and who is legally responsible.

Common Premises Liability Injuries

Premises-related accidents can lead to a range of serious injuries, such as:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Sprains, torn ligaments, and dislocations
  • Severe cuts or lacerations
  • Burns from unsafe electrical or chemical exposure

Even seemingly “minor” falls can lead to lasting pain, costly medical bills, and time away from work. Our attorneys ensure that every aspect of your physical, emotional, and financial recovery is addressed in your claim.

Proving Liability in a Premises Case

To win a premises liability claim in Pennsylvania, your attorney must prove that:

  1. The property owner or manager owed you a duty of care.
  2. They knew or should have known about a hazardous condition.
  3. They failed to fix or warn visitors about it.
  4. You were injured as a result of that negligence.

Our legal team gathers key evidence — such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, inspection reports, and witness statements — to establish fault and build a powerful case for compensation.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

In a successful premises liability claim, you may recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and loss of earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Property damage (if applicable)
  • Wrongful death damages (for fatal accidents)
