Premises Liability

Cases involving premises liability — the liability of a property owner for injuries that occurred on that property because of negligence — can be surprisingly complex, both legally and factually. At Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, attorneys pursue these cases with a focus on excellence in the practice of law.

The firm’s trial attorneys work collaboratively, using their skills and experiences in a team environment to create the best possible results at every stage of litigation, from document-heavy discovery, through consultations with well-respected experts, to compelling and convincing jury trials. MBBB lawyers have won favorable verdicts and settlements in high-profile cases, as well as in lesser-known, highly complex cases involving a broad range of circumstances:

• The death of a college student in a drinking game (While the university and the fraternity knew of the practice, they had no policies in place to prevent such an accident.)
• Assault in parking garages and parking lots (When the owners of the premises know of the dangers involved, they are obligated to provide adequate security.)
• The entrapment of children by pool and spa drains (Knowing the dangers, the hotel or spa owners often do nothing to prevent tragedy.)
• Injuries of passers-by when windows fall from a high-rise building (When maintenance issue are long known, they should have been addressed by the building owners.)
• Slip-and-fall accidents caused by leaky ceilings or leaky pipes (By not fixing defects, the building managers allow a dangerous water hazard.)
• A defectively wired apartment security digital pad can cause electrical burns (The badly maintained wiring can get wet, causing severe injuries to the user.)
• Defects on hotel stairs, subway platforms and runways cause injuries (Despite knowing of the defects, they are often not repaired until serious injuries occur.)
• A fire in a hotel caused by faulty wiring (Inadequate maintenance can cause injuries and death to hotel guests.)

• Much of the firm’s success comes from devoting resources to a select number of cases. To talk with an attorney at Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow about your potential claim, please contact the firm.
