Do Property Owners Have to Protect You From Accidents?
Landowners must take responsibility for the safety of their properties. This means investing in reasonable security, addressing any environmental concerns, and ensuring that any day-to-day hazards are quickly addressed.
In this vein, landowners, renters, and affiliated parties do assume some responsibility for certain people on their property. A person’s standing in a store or on a piece of land can impact the extent of that responsibility.
- Invitees benefit from comprehensive legal protection, as landowners tend to explicitly welcome invitees onto their land. The category of invitees includes a range of people, from a landowner’s friends to any customers or clients invited to do business on the owner’s land.
- Licensees benefit from an equally comprehensive duty of care when on someone else’s land. The category of licensees may include contractors invited to work on a landowner’s land, maintenance teams, and other professionals.
- Trespassers tend not to benefit from a duty of care when involved in an accident on someone else’s land. However, if the trespasser falls under Connecticut’s attractive nuisance doctrine (meaning that they’re a child and there are attractive hazards on a landowner’s property), a landowner may have to pay for any injuries they sustain.
In the wake of a serious accident, our legal team can help you figure out what role you played on someone else’s property and how you can leverage your standing to demand loss-based compensation.
Should You File an Insurance Claim After a Premises Liability Accident?
You may have the right to pursue an insurance claim after an accident on someone else’s property. If it’s safe for you to remain on someone’s property after an accident, you can speak with a landowner about their insurance policy and what coverage you might benefit from.
However, we recommend waiting to pursue an insurance claim until after you’ve met with an experienced premises liability lawyer in New Haven. Filing an insurance claim isn’t easy, as insurers want to make it as difficult as possible for you to financially recover from your losses.
Working with an attorney makes it easier to contest bad-faith attempts to slow down your recovery. It can also prevent you from making mistakes that might otherwise compromise your right to hold landowners or other liable parties responsible for your losses. Fortunately, you can book a case consultation with our legal team immediately after your accident.
When’s the Best Time to Call a New Haven Premises Liability Lawyer?
The sooner after an accident you can get in touch with a New Haven premises liability attorney, the easier it’s going to be for you to gather the evidence necessary to prove your right to compensation. You can contact Skiber Law immediately after an accident to book a free case consultation and discuss the logistics of pursuing loss-based damages.

We Can Find Evidence of Negligence on Your Behalf
You can’t move an insurance claim or premises liability lawsuit forward without evidence indicating that someone else’s negligence played a direct role in your most recent accident.

Sitting down for a free case consultation with our team can make it easier for you to understand how you want to present a case for compensation to the appropriate parties.
We can then connect you with professional investigators who can begin to gather witness statements, electronic data, photos, and video footage of your accident.
Your circumstances may also make it reasonable for us to call in expert witnesses and ask for their contributions to your case. We can help you work with accident reconstructionists, as necessary, as well as police officers and medical specialists.
