Property owners have a duty to keep visitors safe. When they fail, we hold them accountable.
Premises liability is the legal principle that property owners and occupiers have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for people who enter their property. When they fail to do so — and someone gets hurt as a result — they can be held legally responsible for the damages.
At The Lackey Law Firm, we've represented premises liability victims throughout Huntsville and North Alabama for over 40 years. We know how to prove negligence and recover the compensation you deserve.
Wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and debris in walkways cause thousands of injuries annually. We hold property owners accountable when their negligence leads to falls.
When property owners fail to provide reasonable security — proper lighting, cameras, or trained personnel — and someone is assaulted or injured, they may be liable.
Drowning, near-drowning, and diving accidents often result from inadequate fencing, lack of supervision, or defective pool equipment.
Mechanical failures, improper maintenance, and defective designs can cause serious injuries in elevators and escalators.
Exposure to mold, asbestos, lead paint, or chemical hazards due to property owner negligence can cause severe long-term health problems.
Property owners can be held liable when their animals attack visitors, especially when they knew or should have known about the animal's dangerous propensities.
Unsecured construction zones, falling debris, and exposed hazards can injure workers and passersby alike. Owners and contractors may both bear liability.
Alabama follows one of the harshest contributory negligence laws in the country. If you are found even 1% at fault for your accident, you cannot recover any damages. This makes having an experienced attorney absolutely critical to protecting your right to compensation.
Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and future medical treatment costs.
