Mississippi Attorney Serving Clients State-Wide
Helping you Recover For Injuries Occurred on Another's Property
Property owners carry the responsibility to make sure any neglected or unsafe areas of their property are repaired. If an individual sustains an injury due to the failure of the owner to cure defects on his or her property, the owner is fully responsible. Some examples include a property owner's failure to maintain a porch, cover a hole in the ground, or warn individuals of a slippery or wet floor surface.
At my office, McMahan & Brinkley, P.A., I assist clients in Hattiesburg and throughout the state of Mississippi recover for injuries that results from dangerous or unkept property. If you or a loved one was injured on another person's premises as a result of an owner's failure to maintain certain areas of the property or fix dangerous conditions present, I can help.
Individuals Performing Work on Another's Property
Employees injured while performing work on another's property is a common occurrence and can also seek recovery. Utility workers installing a phone line or those performing cable installations are a few examples. In many cases, these individuals can recover under worker's compensation, however, many may be able to seek compensation from the negligent property owner as well.
