The firm of Zneimer & Zneimer specializes in Premises Liability cases.  Premises Liability can be a factor when a visitor or tenant living on someone else's property is somehow injured.  In premises liability cases, the owner of the property may be found liable (legally responsible) if it can be proved that their negligent behavior contributed to an injury. If you've sustained an injury which you believe to have been caused by negligent behavior of another person, you may be able to recover the costs involved in any required medical treatment or lost wages or long term disability or other costs incurred that would somehow have a financial impact on you.

Injuries on properties may include:

• Accidents due to slipping and falling
• Exposure to hazardous or toxic substances such as mold, asbestos, or lead
• Dog bites or maulings

In cases that involve premises liability, it is the responsibility of the plaintiff to prove that the property owners either created unsafe conditions or failed to maintain the property in an appropriate manner which, in turn, lead to the injury; didn't alert tenants or visitors to the fact that there were unsafe hazards on the property; did not adequately determine whether unsafe conditions might pose a threat to children, if around; or took insufficient actions or were otherwise negligent regarding conditions that caused damage to a neighboring property.
