A property owner has a legal obligation to keep you safe. To prevail in a claim for monetary damages, the Law Office of Marvin S. Lanter must prove that the owner knew or should have known of the danger that led to your injury. I can take on any type of owner negligence case:
Negligent Security
- Injuries inflicted by overzealous night club bouncers
- Injuries from an assault by another bar patron
- Rape, robbery or physical assault in a hotel, apartment building, or parking lot due to lack of guards, cameras or other security measures in a high-crime area
Slip and Falls (slippery floor, construction defect)
Elevator and Escalator Accidents
- Improperly closing doors
- Feet caught in escalator gaps
- Sudden elevator drops
Animal Attacks
- Dog bites or injuries running from animals
- Attacks by exotic pets or wild animals
Sample Cases in Premises Liability
A client was chased and attacked by an unleashed, un-fenced dog at an open-air market, injuring his arm when he fell backward. The property owner said it was a vagrant dog and denied responsibility. I sent an investigator the next day who photographed employees feeding the "stray" dog, which resulted in a substantial settlement for my client.
A woman had to fend off a Doberman who went after her small dog during a walk on a residential street. I recovered compensation from the dogs' owner for severe bite wounds to my client's hand and serious injuries to her dog.
In making a case for premises liability, I pursue all leads (witnesses, videotape, inspection reports, previous injuries or crimes at the site). My goal is to secure the maximum damages for your injuries, lost wages, future medical needs, and personal trauma.
