Premises & Security Liability

Property owners have the duty and obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner. This obligation generally requires that their premises remain safe from foreseeable criminal acts of third parties and that stairs/walkways and common areas be free of defects and dangerous conditions. The premises owners or managing agents we represent may also be responsible for elevator maintenance, swimming pool safety, chemical exposures and slippery conditions among a variety of other responsibilities.

We also represent landlords in defending against security breach claims. Many of these claims arise out of broken locks, security system breaches or other property defects that may have led to a breach or attack.
