You have physical, emotional, and financial losses due to another person’s mistakes, and seeking the legal guidance of an attorney is critical.

All you need to do is contact TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, as we can listen to your story and determine which  Mississippi premises liability lawyer in our network will best suit your case.

Premises Liability in Mississippi

Under Mississippi law, property owners and occupiers have a duty to maintain premises in reasonably safe condition. This includes inspecting a property regularly for hazards, addressing hazards as promptly as possible, and warning visitors of persisting hazards when necessary. This duty can apply to homeowners, commercial property owners, businesses leasing commercial space, landlords, or even tenants. 

These parties owe the duty of care to those they invite onto the premises, including customers that benefit businesses or even social guests. Trespassers usually are owed very little duty of care, and trespassing is often a successful defense in premises liability cases. 

To succeed in a premises liability claim, you must demonstrate the property owner or business knew or should have known about the risk. If a hazard develops and you immediately suffer injuries a moment later, there is nothing the property owner could have done, and they might not be legally  responsible. Still, having a lawyer evaluate the matter is wise. In many cases, however, property-related accidents are preventable and due to a breach of the property owner’s duty of care in Mississippi. 

These are complex legal issues, and you need a capable legal professional handling your case. Contact TopDog Law to connect with the right Mississippi premises liability attorney now.

Types of Premises Liability in Mississippi

Property owners who fail to maintain their property put others at risk. Some common examples of premises liability accidents include:

  • Slip and falls: Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability claim. These accidents lead to about one million trips to the emergency room each year, and they can cause surprisingly severe and costly injuries for victims.
  • Exposure: If you are exposed to a dangerous situation due to the property owner’s negligence, they should be responsible. This can include exposure to chemicals, electricity, carbon monoxide, fires, and more.
  • Swimming pool accidents: Mississippi has one of the highest rates of drownings in the U.S., so swimming pool safety should be a top concern. Inadequate maintenance can lead to serious pool-related injuries or fatalities.
  • Negligent security: If a business or property has a risk of criminal activity, owners should implement sufficient security measures to keep visitors and patrons safe. If they fail to do so, assaults or other crimes can cause severe injuries.
  • Animal attacks: If a dog or another pet bites or attacks you while you are visiting another person’s property, the owner can be responsible for the injuries you sustain in some situations.
  • Unsafe structures: Balconies, decks, or even buildings themselves can be in disrepair and collapse, leading to severe injuries.

Common Types of Serious Injuries in Premises Liability Cases

As with any type of accident, injuries can vary widely in property-related incidents. Some of the most common injuries involved in premises liability claims include:

  • Head trauma, including traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones, including broken hips
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Assault-related injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Lacerations and puncture wounds
  • Burns and electrical injuries
  • Drowning and near-drowning

Always seek medical attention and then allow TopDog Law to match you with the right premises liability lawyer.
