Our Melbourne Lawyers Will Determine Who Is Financially Responsible for Your Premises Liability Damages
Financial responsibility for a timeshare premises liability accident can be difficult to determine because a lot depends on the contracts governing the property. Often, a timeshare company is responsible for property maintenance, but liability could also rest with a timeshare lessee, deeded owner, or a third party.
Our Melbourne personal injury attorneys can review the property’s owners’ agreements and applicable insurance policies and determine your best options for pursuing financial compensation.
Our Personal Injury Law Firm Handles Common Premises Liability Issues
Our Melbourne timeshare premises liability attorneys can help you navigate insurance claims or personal injury lawsuits arising from property-related accidents and injuries, such as:
- Slip and falls. We can fight to hold property owners liable for conditions that create a slip, trip, and fall hazard, including leaking or puddled water, cracked sidewalks, broken flooring, ripped or torn carpeting, obstructed walkways, or unsecured cords and wires.
- Swimming pool accidents. Property owners should enclose swimming areas behind a fence or gate for child safety. Pool decks should be free from fall hazards, and pool areas should receive regular maintenance.
- Fires, burns, and smoke inhalation. Timeshare property owners must take reasonable care to protect visitors from fire-related injuries. Vacation rentals should have working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Owners should inform guests of fire safety procedures and keep fire exits clear and unlocked.
- Stairway accidents. Owners must repair broken stairs, install hand railings, keep stairways clear, and provide adequate lighting.
- Elevator and escalator accidents. Elevators and escalators should receive regular inspections and maintenance. Owners must warn visitors about broken elevators and escalators.
- Deck and balcony collapses. We can aim to hold property owners or construction companies liable for injuries caused by improperly constructed or unsafe balconies and decks.
- Gym accidents. If a timeshare has a gym, sauna, or spa facility, the property owner must keep these areas free from negligent conditions and keep equipment in working order.
- Falling tree limbs. Owners can be liable for injuries or property damage caused by falling tree limbs or other unsafe conditions on the grounds surrounding the timeshare.
- Electrocutions. Electrocution injuries can result from old or exposed wiring, improperly installed appliances, or contact between water and electrical current.
- Negligent security. We can fight to hold timeshare owners financially responsible for assaults or thefts occurring due to negligent security.
- Dog bites. Dog bite injuries fall under the umbrella of premises liability because property insurance usually compensates victims. If a dog attacked you, we can aim to hold the animal’s owner accountable.
