In each of these rather common accident situations, someone suffers a serious injury, such as a hip fracture, a broken wrist or arm, a twisted back, or a head injury.

In each of these situations, a property owner can be held financially liable because his or her negligence contributed to those injuries. Business owners, landlords and homeowners are responsible for identifying dangerous situations on their property and taking steps to correct it or warn the public.

When they fail to do so, injured people have a right to seek financial compensation for sustaining their injuries and losses.
