Premises Liability
Milwaukee, Wisconsin Premises Liability Attorneys
In Wisconsin, slipping and falling on ice is an annual event during the winter. However, it is not always due to clumsiness that people fall. If you have slipped and fallen as a result of the negligence of a property owner or operator, you should be compensated for your injuries. At Jacquart & Lowe, S.C., we have represented slip and fall victims in Milwaukee, as well as victims who sustained injuries in public buildings as a result of unsafe management and building code violations.
Under Wisconsin’s Safe Place Statute, owners and operators of public buildings and places of employment are held to a higher standard to ensure that premises are as safe as nature will reasonably permit. So even if you feel partially at fault for the injuries you sustained, public property owners and operators may nevertheless be liable for your injuries because of their duty to protect patrons from unsafe conditions or hazards on their property. Even private homeowners have a level of responsibility to keep their property hazard-free.
We have represented clients injured in restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, stairwells, department stores, and parking lots. Consider the following:
-
Hotel: settlement for a woman scalded by unusually hot bathtub faucet water.
-
Resort: verdict for a woman injured after slipping and falling due to inadequate lighting in an open stairwell lacking railings.
-
Fast Food Restaurant: settlement for a customer who suffered brain injury after being mugged and beaten in a parking lot where there was a history of crimes at the store, but the restaurant still failed to provide adequate security.
-
Office building: verdict for a woman who slipped on ice in the parking lot.
-
Apartment building: settlement for a tenant of an apartment building that was overtaken by a fire that could not be extinguished due to inoperable fire extinguishers.
