Hazards don’t always come with warning signs. A loose stair tread, a wet entryway, an unmarked drop-off behind a business—each can turn a normal day into one that ends with real damage. When someone is hurt because a property owner failed to fix or warn about a dangerous condition, the consequences go far beyond the initial fall or injury.

Property owners, managers, and insurance companies may downplay what happened. Instead of taking responsibility, they shift attention to the person who got hurt. You might be told the fall was your fault or made to feel like you’re overreacting. But injuries like yours don’t happen without a hazard that should have been fixed or clearly marked.
Here are a few examples of scenarios we encounter in premises liability cases:
Property-related injuries like these aren’t rare. They result from risks that owners or managers failed to fix or properly warn about. The law gives injured people the right to hold them accountable.

Premises liability law in Washington requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions. What counts as “reasonable” depends on the type of property, who was on it, and what caused the injury.
The Washington statute of limitations for personal injury gives injured people a set period to file a claim, but the damage to a case can happens much earlier. Property owners move quickly after someone gets hurt—cleaning up, making repairs, or deleting footage, etc. That’s not a coincidence.
If you're thinking about whether to talk to a lawyer, ask yourself:

A winning premises liability case goes beyond what reportedly happened—they are anchored on what can be proven. They succeed because they’re backed by careful documentation, a clear timeline, and proof that the owner or manager failed to act when they should have.
When we take on a case, we start by listening, not to build a theory, but to understand the impact on your life—what’s changed since the injury. From there, we:
