PERSONAL INJRY LAW

---

Our law firm specializes in personal injury and premises liability cases in Washington state. Personal injury law involves seeking compensation for individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others. This can include a wide range of incidents such as car accidents, medical malpractice, and workplace injuries. In Washington, personal injury claims are governed by various statutes and case law that ensure victims receive fair compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering, and other related damages  McCarthy v. Dep't of Soc. & Health Servs., 110 Wn.2d 812, 4.20.060. Action for personal injury survives..

Premises liability, a subset of personal injury law, focuses on injuries that occur due to unsafe conditions on someone else's property. In Washington, property owners and occupiers have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition to prevent harm to visitors. This includes ensuring that any dangerous conditions are promptly addressed or adequately warned against. For instance, in the case of  Kennett v. Federici, 200 Wash. 156, the Washington Supreme Court established that storekeepers must maintain their premises in a condition that a reasonably prudent storekeeper would deem sufficient to protect customers from danger  Kennett v. Federici, 200 Wash. 156. Similarly, in  Moore v. Fred Meyer Stores, Inc., 26 Wn. App. 2d 769, the court highlighted that business invitees must prove that the proprietor had actual or constructive notice of the unsafe condition or that the nature of the business made such conditions reasonably foreseeable  Moore v. Fred Meyer Stores, Inc., 26 Wn. App. 2d 769.

Statistics show that slip and fall accidents are a common cause of premises liability claims in Washington. These cases often hinge on whether the property owner had knowledge of the hazardous condition and failed to take appropriate action. The Washington Court of Appeals in  Little v. Rosauers Supermarkets, Inc., 24 Wn. App. 2d 898 emphasized the importance of proving that the land possessor failed to exercise reasonable care to protect invitees from dangers on the property  Little v. Rosauers Supermarkets, Inc., 24 Wn. App. 2d 898.
