What to Do if You’re Hurt on Someone Else’s Property
The steps you take now could make a difference in the future.
When you visit a business, apartment building, or someone else’s property, you expect it to be safe. But when a property owner fails to fix hazards or maintain their space, serious injuries can happen and innocent people are left to deal with the consequences.
If you were injured because of unsafe property conditions, Chaffin Luhana’s premises liability attorneys are here to help. Our experienced premises liability lawyers can guide you through the process, hold negligent property owners accountable, and help you recover the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, lost income, and other losses.
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away—even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim.
STEP 2. Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident but keep it brief. Share only the basic facts (who, where, when).
STEP 3. Call a Premises Liability Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Don't Post on Social Media About the Incident
We’ve all played the game of telephone, and we know how easily the message can get lost. The same goes for your story. Posting just a few pictures or short updates can paint an incomplete picture of what you’ve endured and what you truly deserve.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Premises Liability FAQs
1. What Are Some of the Most Common Causes of Premises Liability Accidents?
Premises liability accidents can happen anywhere when property owners fail to keep their spaces safe. Common causes include broken stairs or handrails, uneven walkways, poor lighting, unmarked hazards, inadequate security, or failure to repair leaks and structural damage. In apartment buildings and businesses, issues like faulty wiring, unsafe balconies, or lack of maintenance can also lead to serious injuries.
2. What is a premises liability case?
A premises liability case is a legal case where a person asks for compensation because they were injured on someone else’s property. To win the case, the injured person must show that the person responsible for the property was negligent. They might claim that the property owner failed to repair a known hazard, failed to warn guests about it, or both.
3. How Much Can You Get for a Premises Liability Claim?
That depends on the particulars of your case. Generally, cases involving more severe injuries lead to greater compensation. The best way to get an idea of your case’s potential value is to talk to a premises liability lawyer.
4. How Long Does It Take to Settle a Premises Liability Case?
The time it takes to settle is also highly case-dependent. Straightforward cases involving smaller payouts tend to settle faster. Insurance companies are more likely to fight complex cases and those that could lead to significant payouts. In some instances, the two sides can’t agree on a settlement, so the case must be decided in court.
5. Do I Need a Lawyer for My Premises Liability Case?
You are not required to hire a lawyer for a premises liability case, but having one can make a major difference in the outcome. These cases often involve complex questions about who is responsible for the property, what safety measures were required, and how negligence can be proven. An experienced premises liability attorney can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and deal directly with insurance companies on your behalf.
