Montgomery County Premise Liability Lawyers

Helping Slip & Fall Accident Victims Seek The Compensation They Deserve

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property due to a hazardous condition, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages under Pennsylvania’s premise liability laws. Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain their premises safely and warn visitors of any known hazards. If they fail to do so, they may be held liable for any injuries that result. However, premise liability cases can be complex, and it’s crucial to work with an experienced Montgomery County premise liability lawyer. Our attorneys at Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas, P.C. have the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the legal system and help you get the compensation you deserve.

At Solomon, Berschler, Campbell & Thomas, P.C., we have fought for personal injury victims for over 30 years. Our premises liability lawyers in Montgomery County have successfully resolved hundreds of complicated premises liability claims, including slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, and elevator and escalator accidents.

What is Pennsylvania’s Premises Liability Law?

There is no getting around snow and ice in our frigid northern climate. In Pennsylvania, commercial and residential property owners have some legal protection from liability when pedestrians fall on newly snowy or icy sidewalks. But that protection IS limited.

A property owner has to remove snow or treat icy conditions within a reasonable time after the dangerous condition appears. The property owner can be held liable if:

  • The owner knew about the dangerous condition, or it existed for such a long period of time that they should have known.
  • The snow or ice accumulated to such a degree that it formed “hills and ridges” that unreasonably obstructed travel and created danger.
  • The dangerous condition caused a pedestrian to fall and suffer an injury.

How long is too long for such conditions to exist? The Pennsylvania “Hills and Ridges” doctrine says that if the snow and ice have resulted in hills and ridges of snow and ice, the property owner must have failed to deal with the storm in a reasonable period of time.

Leno represented me in two separate zoning issues with the Municipality of Norristown that he handled quickly and without incident. In one instance, he represented me in court and in the other represented me in negotiations with the municipality’s Solicitor. Both outcomes were to my satisfaction.
