Injured on Property?
Have you been injured because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property? You may deserve compensation. Property owners have a legal duty, called premises liability, to keep their property safe. By law in Montgomery, AL, when property owners allow dangerous conditions or situations and people get hurt as a result, victims may receive financial compensation.
However, as a victim, it can be hard to secure your award, as insurance companies look to minimize the amount of compensation they must pay. Our lawyers stand up for our clients and pursue their rights.

Alabama Premises Liability Law
In Alabama premises liability law, judges have explained the standards used to evaluate injury claims based on dangerous property conditions. Depending on why the victim was on the premises, there are different standards used to determine liability. These categories are invitee, licensee, and trespasser.
Invitee – Someone who comes onto the property to benefit the owner. Shoppers, clients, and customers are invitees.
Licensee – A person who is welcome on the property but not for financial benefit. Friends and neighbors are licensed to be there.
Trespassers – When a person enters without permission, they are a trespasser.
Invitees have the highest protections under the law. The property owner must take care of possible dangers and actively keep the property safe. Licensees have significant protections for correcting dangers or providing a warning. Even trespassers are owed a small duty of care, with the law prohibiting intentional or reckless conduct that causes harm.
