Premises Liability
The law says property owners owe the public a certain level of safety when visiting or residing on their premises. If reasonable safety standards are not met and harm results, the injured party can sue property owners and/or managers to recover expenses and other compensation for:
- Medical costs
- Past and future lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Personal property damages
Twiggs, Beskind, Strickland & Rabenau represents plaintiffs in Raleigh and throughout North Carolina who have suffered harm on someone else’s property due to negligence. The majority of our cases focus on slip and fall injuries, swimming pool injuries, and unsafe premises.
Examples of past premises liability cases include:
- $1 million verdict for a woman who slipped and fell on a dangerously slick floor at a shopping mall
- $835,000 settlement for a school system to pay for the costs of removing asbestos from a school building

Improperly Built or Maintained Premises
Improperly built or poorly maintained buildings expose visitors and residents to health risks, such as medical conditions caused by toxins in the environment, or physical damage, such as slip and fall injuries. You are entitled to seek compensation if your injury or medical condition is due to a property owner’s or manager’s carelessness or negligence. A qualified attorney should review your case and advise you about the next steps to take.
Inadequate Security
Premises liability cases relating to insufficient security often focus on easily addressed safety issues including the following:
- Inadequate protection against crime
- Insufficient lighting
- Faulty locks
- Lack of surveillance
Property owners are liable for the security of their building. They must take responsibility if you were assaulted as a result of their failure to meet common security guidelines. Our lawyers vigorously represent clients injured because of inadequate safety measures and other security issues.
