How Do You Prove Premises Liability?
In your Stockbridge premises liability case, you’ll have to establish the other party is liable for the incident and your damages. To do this, you’ll have to establish they were negligent in some way. For example, the other party may have been negligent by:
- Leaving their property cluttered with hazards
- Leaving their property exposed to a slippery substance
- Letting their dog out freely on their open property
- Failing to keep equipment on the property maintained properly
- Failing to address complaints about problems with the property
Showing Negligence
To show the other party’s negligence, you’ll need evidence of negligence. You may be able to obtain certain evidence on your own, but a lawyer from our firm can obtain evidence more easily. In your case, the evidence may be:
- Footage from a security camera on the premises
- Photos of the property
- Equipment maintenance reports
- Reports of prior premises liability incidents
- Customer complaint logs
- Logs of an employee’s activity on the job
- Your medical bills
Establishing Negligence
To fully establish the other party’s negligence, you or a Stockbridge premises liability lawyer from our firm must also show each of the four elements of negligence in your case. These elements are:
- Duty of care (the other party’s responsibility to act or not act in a way that could cause you harm)
- Breach of duty (the other party’s irresponsible action or inaction)
- Causation (the link between irresponsibility and the incident)
- Damages (the compensable losses you suffered or incurred)

How Do You Negotiate a Premises Liability Settlement?
Negotiating a settlement with an insurance company can be even more difficult than establishing a party’s liability. The insurer will try to protect their client from liability in order to protect themselves. The insurer might also try to diminish the claimant’s case, such as by claiming their damages are minor.
One of our firm’s premises liability lawyers in Stockbridge can protect you from such a claim and preserve your case for you. For instance, your lawyer can determine the value of your damages prior to negotiations, and during negotiations, your lawyer can argue that a court would approve your lawyer’s valuation.
Your lawyer can also threaten to sue the other party or even the insurer, and if necessary, your lawyer will follow through on the threat and litigate your case.
