At Hagner & Zohlman, LLP, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, our premises liability attorneys have helped people injured by many types of hazards and negligence, and we are skilled and experienced at working to obtain fair compensation for our clients.

Premise liability might include:

• Slip and fall: Serious injuries to backs, ankles, wrists, and elbows, even head injuries, result when people slip on a wet floor or icy sidewalk, or when they trip over uneven pavement or step in a pothole.
• Swimming pool accident: A backyard pool or a trampoline is an "attractive nuisance" that too commonly leads to serious injury or death when unattended children have access. Drowning, paralyzing neck injuries and broken limbs are often the tragic result of an owner's carelessness.
• Construction hazards: Construction is a fact of life, but contractors and owners of premises have a duty to alert the public to holes, live electrical wires, sharp objects and other dangers. Too often the simple precaution of a warning sign or fencing is neglected, leading to injury.
• Inadequate security: Owners of shopping centers, parking garages, apartment buildings, bars and other facilities have an obligation to provide reasonable security through monitoring, restricted entry, lighting and/or security personnel. If you were raped, robbed or assaulted, you may have a premises liability claim against the property owner.
• Dog Bite / Animal Bite

We use private investigators to examine the scene of the injury, and we use engineers to determine if there were building code violations or other factors supporting a premises liability claim. We also consult with medical experts to determine the victim’s prognosis, future medical needs, and the extent of any lasting disability. The injured party may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, lost wages, future earnings, and maybe even emotional trauma.
