Premises Liability
When a property owner fails to fix a dangerous situation or provide adequate warning of the property’s condition and someone is injured on that property, the injury victim may be able to pursue a premises liability claim. Unfortunately, many people, including some attorneys, regard these as straightforward, run-of-the-mill, simple cases.
At Godosky & Gentile, we do not; we know that premises liability cases require extensive documentation and innovative legal strategies in order to maximize the compensation that those injured by property owner negligence receive.
We use our decades of experience and results-oriented approach to litigation to build persuasive cases on behalf of injured clients and the families of those who have lost loved ones in premises liability situations. Our ability to successfully resolve even the most complex of cases has led to many awards and accolades, including U.S. News & World Report naming us a Tier One firm in their annual Best Law Firms publication. This is the topmost tier, and is reserved for the most prestigious firms throughout the nation.
