We Fight For Accident Victims Who Are Injured On Someone Else’s Property

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for visitors. When hazardous conditions are ignored, serious injuries can occur—from slip and fall accidents to injuries caused by unsafe walkways, inadequate maintenance, or dangerous property conditions.

At Carey Law Firm, P.C., we represent clients throughout Missoula, Hamilton, the Bitterroot Valley, and communities across western Montana who have been injured because of unsafe property conditions. Whether your injuries occurred at a business, apartment complex, retail store, parking lot, or private property, our attorneys are committed to protecting your rights and pursuing the compensation you deserve.

How We Help Premises Liability Victims

Property owners and their insurance companies often dispute responsibility after an accident. Our attorneys investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, when necessary, pursue litigation to hold negligent property owners accountable.
  • Who owns the property?
  • Is landlord liability a factor?
  • Does strict liability apply or is it necessary to show negligence on the part of the owner to prepare a successful injury claim?
  • Are there insurance problems that may make it difficult to collect fair compensation in a reasonable and timely manner?

Recover Compensation After A Slip, Trip Or Fall Accident

If you were injured at a private home, in a parking garage or while shopping at a local market, get in touch with a lawyer at our firm today who can help determine if legal action may be appropriate. Were walkways in poor condition? Was a wet or slippery floor left unmarked? Did the owner allow hazardous ice and snow to accumulate? Was there a hidden hole or crevice? Whatever hazardous conditions may have contributed to the accident, you need a knowledgeable premises liability attorney to review it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability

A premises liability claim arises when someone is injured because a property owner or occupier failed to maintain reasonably safe conditions. These cases may involve slip and fall accidents, unsafe walkways, inadequate lighting, falling objects, or other hazardous conditions that could have been prevented through proper maintenance or reasonable care.
If you’re injured on someone else’s property, seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if your injuries seem minor. If you’re able, report the accident to the property owner or manager, take photographs of the area where the incident occurred, gather contact information for any witnesses, and keep copies of your medical records and other documentation. These steps can help protect both your health and your potential legal claim.
Not every accident on someone else’s property results in a valid legal claim. Generally, a successful premises liability case depends on whether the property owner failed to exercise reasonable care in maintaining the property or warning visitors of dangerous conditions. An attorney can review the facts of your accident and help determine whether you may have a claim.
Depending on the circumstances, an injured person may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, future medical treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident. Every case is unique, and the compensation available depends on the specific facts involved.
Time limits apply to personal injury claims in Montana, including premises liability cases. Because filing deadlines and legal requirements vary depending on the circumstances, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to protect your rights.
Minor accidents may not require legal representation. However, if you’ve suffered significant injuries, required medical treatment, missed work, or are dealing with an insurance company that disputes your claim, consulting with an attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options.
