PROPERTY OWNERS MAY BE LIABLE FOR INJURIES THAT OCCUR ON THEIR LAND—HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED? CALL OAKLAND PERSONAL INJURY LAW FIRM
Part of owning a property or business is the liability of injury, whether it’s with employees, deliverymen or the general public. Depending on the circumstances of how a person gets injured, the property owner may be held accountable for their injuries. For example, if a customer is shopping in a grocery store and slips and falls on a patch of juice that an employee spilled, and the store failed to clean it up or put a caution marker near it, then the grocery store may be liable for the person’s injuries. However, if the customer is acting reckless himself, such as riding on a shopping cart through the store, and injures himself in that way, then the grocery store may not be liable for his injuries. Since each case is dependent on their circumstances whether they will be successful in court, you should call Greenberg & Rudman LLP for a free and confidential consultation as soon as possible. We can be reached at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO)—call us now!
On April 8, 2009 in Lafayette, Indiana, a woman won a lawsuit against the Lafayette Family YMCA for improperly supervising the sauna in which her husband was found unconscious in. The man, James Johnson, was 61 years old when he was found unconscious in the sauna and died in the hospital two days later. The YMCA and Johnson’s wife, Berma Johnson, settled the lawsuit out of court, so the amount agreed to was not disclosed, but both parties are happy that the lawsuit was resolved. During the lawsuit, the YMCA conducted its own safety evaluation of the facility. Although there were no changes recommended and no critical findings made, the facility will continue to monitor the sauna several times a day.
