Can I sue if I get injured on someone else’s property?

If you are injured on someone else’s property, you might be eligible for compensation. Compensation that you may be eligible for includes:

  • Medical bills in the past and the future
  • Rehabilitation therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Medications
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Assistive devices and transportation
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Disfigurement
  • Inability to perform certain functions
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

However, to be eligible for any of the compensation listed above, you will need to prove the following:

  • The property owner created the dangerous condition;
  • The property owner had actual knowledge about the dangerous condition; or
  • The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition because through the exercise of due care, a “reasonable” person would have discovered it; and
  • The property owner either failed to remove or repair the condition; or failed to warn about the dangerous condition, provided the warning would have made the condition safe.

If you get injured, it is important to schedule a consultation with a personal injury attorney right away. Call the Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas today!
