One of the most crucial services a KJSR lawyer can provide is gathering and analyzing all available evidence to identify the liable party in your case. Gathering evidence quickly is essential, so the sooner you get us involved, the sooner we can take photos, locate and interview witnesses, identify who’s at fault, and build your case for compensation.

In premises liability cases, an injured person must prove the liable party was negligent and failed to use reasonable care in maintaining the property. Any of the following parties could be at fault in a premises liability case:

• Property Owners – Under Connecticut law, commercial property owners must inspect their property and implement safeguards to protect customers from hazards. They have a duty of care to make a reasonable effort to ensure the safety of their facilities.
• Property Managers – If a property manager is in charge of maintaining the safety of a property instead of the owner, they may be liable for any injury that results.
• Tenants – A tenant may be liable for an injury to a property they occupy if they fail to maintain it as required by the law or their rental agreement.
• Maintenance Contractors – Contractors may be held liable for an injury on a property if they have failed to maintain the premises in a safe condition.
• Security Companies – If an incident such as a dog bite or theft occurs on a property, the security company responsible for monitoring and keeping the property safe may be liable.
• Government Entities – If the incident occurred on public property due to poor maintenance or hazardous conditions, a city, town, county, or state agency may be held responsible.
