Premises Liability Accident

Oklahoma City Premises Liability Accident Attorneys

Oklahoma City is expanding every year, with new residents, businesses, residential developments, and public spaces opening all the time. But as the city continues to grow, so do the risks of premises liability accidents. Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors, customers, and tenants. When they fail to address hazardous conditions, people get hurt. Slip and falls, unsafe stairwells, poor lighting, and negligent security can turn a routine visit to a store, apartment complex, or parking lot into a life-altering event. Injuries from premises liability accidents can range from broken bones and concussions to spinal cord damage and permanent disabilities. And when these accidents happen, insurance companies work quickly to shift the blame onto the victim, making it difficult to recover compensation.

At Hawkins Law Firm, we don’t let negligent property owners or their insurers take advantage of injured victims. We aggressively investigate every claim, gather key evidence, and build strong cases to demand the full compensation our clients deserve. Whether your accident happened at a retail store, hotel, office building, or public space, we are ready to fight for your rights. We know how to counter the insurance company’s tactics and won’t settle for less than you deserve. Call us today at (918) 583-6007 for a free consultation. We take on the legal battle while you focus on your recovery.

How Hawkins Law Firm Proves Liability

What are Premises Liability Cases Hawkins Law Firm Can Represent?

A premises liability case arises when a property owner’s negligence leads to an injury. In Oklahoma, businesses, landlords, and property owners have a legal obligation to keep their properties safe. If they fail to fix dangerous conditions, warn visitors of hazards, or provide proper security, they can be held legally responsible for any harm that occurs. These accidents happen every day in grocery stores, apartment complexes, shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, and even private residences.

When a property owner ignores safety concerns, people suffer serious injuries. Broken bones, concussions, spinal cord damage, and even wrongful death can result from dangerous property conditions. But proving liability isn’t always easy. Property owners and their insurers will often deny responsibility, argue that the hazard was “obvious,” or blame the victim. That’s why you need an experienced premises liability lawyer to fight back.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are among the most frequent and dangerous premises liability claims. A simple fall can result in life-changing injuries—fractured bones, spinal cord damage, or even traumatic brain injuries. Property owners and businesses must maintain safe walking surfaces, warn visitors of hazards, and promptly remove any dangers. When they fail to do so, people get hurt—and they should be held accountable.

Where Do Slip and Fall Accidents Happen?

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, but they are particularly common in high-traffic areas where businesses and property owners fail to address hazards.

  • Grocery Stores & Retail Shops – Spilled liquids, leaking freezers, and cluttered aisles create serious slip and trip hazards.
  • Restaurants & Bars – Greasy floors, spilled drinks, and loose rugs can cause unsuspecting patrons to fall.
  • Parking Lots & Sidewalks – Uneven pavement, potholes, and ice during winter months make walking treacherous.
  • Hotels & Apartment Complexes – Wet floors in lobbies, poorly maintained stairwells, and dimly lit hallways increase fall risks.
  • Offices & Commercial Buildings – Loose carpets, broken tile, and poor maintenance put employees and visitors at risk.
  • Hospitals & Nursing Homes – Neglected cleaning, wet floors, and lack of assistance lead to frequent falls, especially for elderly residents.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are almost always preventable. They occur because property owners and managers fail to maintain safe conditions. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Wet and Slippery Floors – Spills, leaks, or recently mopped surfaces without proper warning signs.
  • Uneven or Cracked Pavement – Poorly maintained sidewalks, potholes, and broken curbs in parking lots.
  • Loose Carpets or Floorboards – Rugs that bunch up, torn carpeting, or unsecured flooring create serious trip hazards.
  • Poor Lighting – Dimly lit stairwells, hallways, and parking garages make it difficult to see potential dangers.
  • Defective or Missing Handrails – Broken railings on staircases or ramps that don’t meet safety codes.
  • Icy or Snow-Covered Walkways – Failure to remove ice, snow, or other hazards from public and private walkways.

Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall might sound minor—until it happens to you. Victims of falls often suffer from severe injuries that can impact their ability to work, care for their families, and enjoy life. Some of the most serious injuries include:

  • Broken Bones and Fractures – Wrists, hips, ankles, and ribs are common fracture sites after a fall.
  • Head Injuries & Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Concussions, skull fractures, or brain damage from striking the ground.
  • Spinal Cord & Back Injuries – Herniated discs, nerve damage, or paralysis in severe cases.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries – Torn ligaments, sprains, and muscle strains that require extensive physical therapy.
  • Hip Injuries – Particularly common in elderly victims, falls can lead to broken hips requiring surgery and long recovery times.
  • Facial Injuries & Disfigurement – Broken teeth, deep cuts, and permanent scarring from impact with the ground or nearby objects.

Who is Liable for a Slip and Fall Accident?

Property owners and businesses are responsible for keeping their premises safe. If they fail to inspect, maintain, and repair hazardous conditions, they can be held liable for any injuries that occur. Potentially responsible parties include:

  • Business Owners & Retail Stores – Grocery stores, restaurants, malls, and bars must keep their floors clean and dry.
  • Landlords & Apartment Managers – Rental properties must maintain safe stairwells, lighting, and common areas for tenants and guests.
  • Homeowners – If a dangerous condition on private property leads to an injury, homeowners can be held accountable.
  • Hotels & Resorts – Guests must be warned about wet floors, dangerous stairwells, and other hazards.
  • Government Entities – If a slip and fall occurs on public property (such as a sidewalk or government building), the city or municipality may be responsible.

 

Negligent Security – When Property Owners Fail to Protect Visitors

If a property lacks proper security, tenants, customers, and visitors are left vulnerable to assaults, robberies, or violent crimes. Landlords, business owners, and property managers have a duty to provide reasonable security measures to prevent harm. When they don’t, victims can hold them accountable.

Negligent security claims often involve:

  • Lack of security cameras or broken surveillance systems
  • Poorly lit parking garages, stairwells, or alleyways
  • Unsecured entrances in apartment complexes or office buildings
  • Lack of trained security guards at high-risk locations
  • Failure to warn tenants or customers about known criminal activity

If you or a loved one was assaulted due to poor security, Hawkins Law Firm will hold the property owner accountable for failing to protect you.

Unsafe Stairways & Walkways – A Major Fall Hazard

Stairs, ramps, and walkways must be well-maintained to prevent dangerous falls. Broken steps, missing handrails, and poorly lit stairwells are all serious hazards that can cause devastating injuries.

Common hazards include:

  • Loose or broken handrails
  • Uneven or crumbling stairs
  • Slick or worn-out surfaces on staircases or walkways
  • Missing warning signs for steep inclines or steps
  • Failure to clear snow, ice, or debris from pathways

Falls down stairs often result in severe head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. If you were hurt due to a poorly maintained stairway, we will fight to hold the property owner responsible.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Property owners and dog owners are responsible for keeping visitors safe from aggressive or dangerous animals. If a dog bites or attacks someone, the owner may be held liable for medical bills, scarring, emotional trauma, and other damages.

Dog bite cases often involve:

  • Failure to leash or restrain a dangerous dog
  • Lack of proper fencing or enclosures
  • Ignoring previous aggressive behavior
  • Dogs attacking guests, delivery drivers, or pedestrians

Dog bites can cause deep lacerations, nerve damage, infections, and permanent scarring. If you or your child was attacked by a dog, Hawkins Law Firm will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Swimming Pool Accidents – Hidden Dangers for Guests and Children

Swimming pools must be properly maintained and secured to prevent accidents. Property owners, hotels, and apartment complexes are responsible for ensuring pool areas are safe for guests.

Common causes of swimming pool accidents include:

  • Lack of fences, gates, or pool covers to prevent child drownings
  • No lifeguards or supervision at public pools
  • Slippery surfaces causing falls and head injuries
  • Defective drains, pool ladders, or diving boards
  • Unmarked deep ends or missing depth indicators

Drowning accidents and near-drowning injuries can lead to permanent brain damage, broken bones, and tragic fatalities. If negligence led to a pool-related injury or death, we will hold the responsible party accountable.

Elevator and Escalator Accidents

Malfunctioning elevators and escalators pose serious risks to riders. Poor maintenance, faulty parts, and mechanical failures can cause:

  • Sudden drops or stops, leading to falls or impact injuries
  • Door malfunctions, trapping riders or causing crushing injuries
  • Defective sensors, leading to people getting caught in closing doors
  • Escalator entrapment, where shoes, clothing, or body parts get pulled into moving parts

Elevator and escalator accidents often result in broken bones, head trauma, and even amputations. If you were injured due to a malfunction, we will hold the property owner or maintenance company accountable.

Store and Supermarket Accidents

Businesses are required to keep their stores safe for customers. But neglected maintenance, poor stocking practices, and careless employees lead to dangerous situations.

Common retail store hazards include:

  • Falling merchandise from high shelves, causing head and neck injuries
  • Slippery floors from spills or leaking freezers, leading to falls
  • Defective shopping carts that collapse or tip over
  • Cluttered aisles creating trip hazards
  • Parking lot hazards, such as broken pavement or poor lighting

If a store’s negligence caused your injury, we will pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Hotel and Resort Injuries

Hotels, resorts, and motels have a duty to protect guests from harm. But unsafe conditions, poorly trained staff, and negligent security put visitors at risk.

Common hotel-related premises liability claims include:

  • Slip and falls in hallways, bathrooms, or lobbies due to wet floors
  • Bed bug infestations leading to bites, infections, and allergic reactions
  • Swimming pool accidents due to lack of lifeguards or unsafe decks
  • Inadequate hotel security, leading to assaults, theft, or attacks
  • Defective furniture or broken beds, causing injuries

If you were injured while staying at a hotel or resort, we will hold the property owner or management company accountable.

Construction Site Injuries for Visitors and Bystanders

Construction sites are inherently dangerous, but when proper safety precautions aren’t taken, bystanders, pedestrians, and visitors are put at serious risk. Property owners, contractors, and developers can be held liable for:

  • Falling debris injuring passersby
  • Unsecured scaffolding collapsing on pedestrians
  • Open trenches or uncovered holes, creating fall risks
  • Exposed electrical wiring, causing electrocution injuries
  • Lack of proper safety signage, failing to warn the public of dangers

If you were injured at or near a construction site, we will fight for full compensation against the property owner or construction company.

Toxic Exposure and Hazardous Materials Cases

Some premises liability cases involve exposure to harmful chemicals, gases, or unsafe air quality. Property owners have a duty to eliminate toxic hazards or properly warn visitors and tenants.

Examples of toxic exposure claims include:

  • Mold exposure in apartments, offices, or hotels
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty gas appliances
  • Lead paint exposure, particularly in older rental units
  • Chemical spills in workplaces or public areas
  • Asbestos exposure, leading to long-term respiratory illnesses

If negligence caused your exposure to dangerous substances, we will hold the responsible party accountable.

Fires, Explosions, and Electrical Accidents

Electrical hazards, gas leaks, and flammable materials can lead to devastating fires and explosions. Property owners, landlords, and businesses must maintain safe electrical systems and properly store combustible materials.

Common causes of fire-related premises liability claims include:

  • Faulty wiring or electrical defects leading to fires
  • Improperly maintained gas lines, causing explosions
  • Blocked fire exits preventing safe evacuation
  • Lack of working smoke detectors or fire alarms
  • Unsafe kitchen or appliance hazards in rental units or restaurants

Fires and explosions cause severe burns, smoke inhalation injuries, and wrongful death. If property owner negligence led to a fire, we will fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Playground and Amusement Park Accidents

Children are at high risk for injuries when playgrounds, amusement parks, or recreational facilities aren’t properly maintained. Property owners and operators must ensure safety standards are met.

Common playground and amusement park hazards include:

  • Broken or rusted playground equipment, causing falls or lacerations
  • Defective roller coasters or rides, leading to crashes or ejections
  • Lack of safety barriers, allowing children to wander into dangerous areas
  • Inadequate supervision at pools, parks, or trampoline centers

If your child was injured due to unsafe conditions, we will hold the negligent party accountable.

Parking Lot and Garage Accidents

Property owners are responsible for maintaining parking lots and garages. But poor lighting, uneven pavement, and negligent security create serious hazards.

Common parking lot and garage dangers include:

  • Potholes and cracks, leading to trip and fall injuries
  • Poor lighting, increasing the risk of assaults or vehicle accidents
  • Lack of security, resulting in robberies or violent attacks
  • Inadequate traffic signs, leading to pedestrian collisions

If you were injured in a poorly maintained or unsafe parking lot, Hawkins Law Firm is ready to fight for your rights.

 

How Hawkins Law Firm Can Help with Your Premises Liability Case

When you suffer an injury on someone else’s property, the legal battle begins immediately. The property owner, their insurance company, and their legal team will work together to deny your claim, delay the process, or shift the blame onto you. They’ll argue that the hazard was obvious and avoidable, claim they had no prior knowledge of the danger, or offer a lowball settlement that doesn’t come close to covering your medical bills, lost wages, and suffering. Their goal is to protect their profits, not compensate you fairly—but we won’t let them get away with it.

At Hawkins Law Firm, we fight back. We know how these cases work, and we take aggressive legal action to hold negligent property owners accountable. We don’t just file claims—we build ironclad cases backed by evidence, expert testimony, and relentless legal strategy. Here’s what we do to protect your rights and maximize your compensation:

A Comprehensive Investigation to Prove Negligence

We don’t just take your word for it—we build a case with solid evidence. Our team thoroughly investigates every aspect of your accident to prove property owner negligence.

  • We visit the accident site and document unsafe conditions before they can be fixed or covered up.
  • We gather surveillance footage, maintenance records, and incident reports proving the property owner failed to address known hazards.
  • We interview witnesses and obtain statements from employees, customers, or tenants who saw the accident or knew about the danger.
  • We work with safety experts to prove the hazard was preventable and that the owner should have taken action before your injury occurred.

 

Establishing Property Owner Responsibility

A property owner’s first line of defense is often to deny responsibility. We make sure they don’t get away with it.

  • We prove that the hazard was not just dangerous—but also known to the property owner. If they ignored complaints or failed to conduct inspections, we expose their negligence.
  • We show that the owner failed to follow Oklahoma safety laws and building codes, holding them accountable for violations that put visitors at risk.
  • We push back against attempts to blame you for your injuries, proving that your accident was caused by their failure to maintain safe conditions, not carelessness on your part.

 

Demanding Maximum Compensation for Your Losses

We fight for full and fair compensation, ensuring you don’t get stuck with the financial burden of someone else’s negligence.

  • We calculate the full cost of your injuries, including past, present, and future medical expenses. If you need surgeries, rehabilitation, or long-term care, we ensure those costs are covered.
  • We fight for lost wages and reduced earning capacity, making sure you are compensated for time off work or any lasting disability that affects your ability to earn a living.
  • We hold property owners accountable for your pain and suffering, including emotional distress, permanent disability, and loss of quality of life.
  • If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we take them to court and fight for your rights in front of a judge and jury.

What to Do After Getting Hurt in a Premises Liability Accident in Oklahoma City

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, taking the right steps immediately can protect your health and your legal rights. The property owner’s insurance company will do everything possible to avoid liability, so gathering evidence and securing legal representation early on is critical. A strong premises liability claim starts with proper documentation, timely reporting, and experienced legal guidance.

At Hawkins Law Firm, we know that property owners and their insurance companies will try to shift the blame onto you. That’s why we advise victims to follow these crucial steps after an accident. The actions you take in the minutes, hours, and days after your injury could determine whether you recover full compensation or walk away with nothing.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention – Protecting Your Health and Legal Rights

Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine after a fall, assault, or other premises liability accident, never assume you are uninjured. Some injuries—like concussions, internal bleeding, or spinal trauma—may not show symptoms right away. Delaying medical care not only puts your health at risk but also gives the insurance company a reason to argue that your injuries weren’t serious.

  • Call 911 if the injury is severe. If you suffered a head injury, broken bones, or serious fall, emergency medical care is essential.
  • Visit an urgent care or emergency room immediately. A medical professional can assess your injuries and document them properly.
  • Follow all doctor’s recommendations. If you’re told to attend follow-up visits, physical therapy, or additional treatments, do not skip them.
  • Keep all medical records and receipts. These documents are crucial in proving the extent of your injuries and the financial impact they have on your life.

Insurance companies will search for any reason to deny or minimize your claim, including arguing that your injuries were “not that bad” or caused by something other than the accident. Getting medical attention immediately helps eliminate this excuse.

Document the Scene – Taking Photos, Witness Statements, and Video Evidence

Evidence disappears fast after a premises liability accident. Property owners may fix hazards, clean up spills, or remove security footage before you even have a chance to prove what happened. That’s why documenting the accident scene immediately is one of the most important steps you can take.

  • Take clear, detailed photos and videos of the hazard that caused your injury (wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, lack of security, etc.).
  • Photograph your injuries as soon as possible. Cuts, bruises, and swelling can fade over time, making them harder to prove later.
  • Capture the surrounding area. Show the conditions of the property, any warning signs (or lack thereof), and environmental hazards.
  • Gather contact information from witnesses. Bystanders, employees, or other visitors may have seen what happened and can provide statements.
  • Request surveillance footage. Many businesses, hotels, parking garages, and apartment complexes have security cameras. Video evidence can prove negligence and prevent property owners from disputing your claim.

Once a property owner realizes you might file a claim, they may try to destroy or withhold key evidence. Our attorneys can step in quickly and issue legal demands to preserve critical security footage and maintenance records before they “mysteriously disappear.”

Report the Incident – Informing Property Management or Authorities

Filing an official accident report is critical in a premises liability case. Without one, the property owner or their insurance company may claim the accident never happened. Reporting the incident creates a paper trail that prevents them from denying responsibility later.

  • If you’re injured at a business, store, or hotel, demand to file an incident report. Most businesses have internal reporting procedures, but they won’t always offer to create a report unless you ask.
  • Request a copy of the report before leaving. If a manager refuses to provide one, take a photo of any paperwork or written acknowledgment of your complaint.
  • If the accident happened at an apartment complex or rental property, notify the landlord or property manager in writing. Verbal complaints are easily ignored—send an email or certified letter for proof.
  • For serious injuries involving assaults, criminal activity, or unsafe conditions, call the police. A police report is strong evidence that the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment.

Some property owners will try to pressure you into not filing a report—especially if they know they were negligent. Do not let them intimidate you into staying silent. Even if the manager or landlord seems apologetic at the scene, their insurance company will not be on your side when it comes time to pay for your damages.

Contact Hawkins Law Firm – Avoiding Insurance Company Traps and Legal Pitfalls

Once you’ve received medical care, documented the scene, and reported the accident, the next step is just as important: getting a premises liability attorney involved immediately. The insurance company’s goal is to pay you as little as possible—or nothing at all. They may reach out within days of your accident with a lowball settlement offer or try to get you to make a statement that hurts your case.

At Hawkins Law Firm, we handle everything so that you don’t fall into their traps:

  • We take over all communication with the insurance company. You won’t have to deal with aggressive adjusters trying to twist your words or pressure you into settling for less.
  • We investigate the property owner’s negligence. Our legal team gathers maintenance records, safety violations, and history of past complaints to prove your case.
  • We calculate the full value of your claim. Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care—all must be accounted for.
  • We negotiate aggressively and fight for maximum compensation. If the insurance company won’t pay what you deserve, we are fully prepared to take them to court.

Do not sign anything, accept a settlement, or give a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Let us handle the legal battle while you focus on recovering.

 

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Premises Liability Case?

Premises liability cases aren’t just about the accident itself, they’re about who failed to prevent it. Property owners, businesses, and government entities all have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, tenants, and customers. When they neglect this responsibility, they can be held financially accountable for the injuries and damages that result.

At Hawkins Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations to identify every responsible party and hold them accountable. Liability isn’t always straightforward, and multiple parties may share responsibility. Here’s who can be held liable in a premises liability case:

Property Owners – The Primary Party Responsible for Safety

Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. Whether it’s a homeowner, landlord, or commercial property owner, they are required to fix hazards, conduct routine maintenance, and warn guests of dangers. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for injuries that occur on their property.

Property owner negligence often includes:

  • Failing to repair broken stairs, railings, or flooring
  • Not addressing spills, ice, or slippery conditions
  • Ignoring security concerns in high-crime areas
  • Neglecting routine inspections and maintenance

If you were injured on private or commercial property due to a dangerous condition, we’ll fight to prove the owner’s negligence and recover full compensation for your losses.

Businesses & Retail Stores – Responsible for Customer Safety

Stores, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses must take proactive steps to ensure customer safety. Under Oklahoma law, they are required to promptly remove hazards, properly train employees, and warn customers of risks.

Common business-related hazards include:

  • Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
  • Poorly stocked merchandise that falls from shelves
  • Dim lighting in stairwells, hallways, and parking lots
  • Lack of security measures, leading to assaults or theft

Retailers and businesses have insurance teams and corporate lawyers working to minimize payouts on injury claims. That’s why you need a legal team that knows how to fight back. Hawkins Law Firm has extensive experience holding major businesses accountable for failing to protect customers.

Landlords & Property Managers – Responsible for Apartment Complex & Rental Safety

Landlords and property managers have a legal duty to maintain safe living conditions for tenants and visitors. Rental properties, apartment complexes, and condos must be properly maintained, with adequate security, working utilities, and hazard-free common areas.

Landlord negligence often involves:

  • Broken locks, gates, or security doors, leading to break-ins and attacks
  • Defective lighting in hallways, staircases, and parking lots
  • Unsafe stairwells, loose railings, or missing handrails
  • Failure to address known dangers, such as broken elevators or mold infestations

If a landlord ignored complaints about unsafe conditions or failed to perform required repairs, they could be held fully liable for any injuries or losses that result.

Government Entities – Liable for Public Property Hazards

When a premises liability accident occurs on public property, the city, state, or municipality responsible for maintenance may be held accountable. Government agencies must ensure public sidewalks, parks, roads, and government buildings are reasonably safe for pedestrians and visitors.

Government negligence may include:

  • Unmaintained sidewalks with large cracks, potholes, or trip hazards
  • Poorly lit crosswalks or intersections, leading to pedestrian injuries
  • Failure to fix known hazards, such as broken streetlights or collapsed walkways
  • Negligence in public buildings, such as slippery floors or unsecured stairwells

Suing a government entity is more complicated than suing a private business. Strict notice requirements and shorter deadlines apply. If your accident happened on public property, you need to act fast—and our attorneys can help.

Third-Party Contractors & Maintenance Companies – Liable for Unsafe Work

Sometimes, third-party maintenance crews, cleaning services, or construction companies are responsible for creating a hazardous condition. If a cleaning crew failed to put out “wet floor” signs, an elevator company failed to fix a malfunction, or a construction company left dangerous debris in a walkway, they can be held accountable for any resulting injuries.

Examples of third-party liability include:

  • A cleaning service mopping floors without warning signs, leading to a slip and fall
  • A construction crew leaving exposed wiring, causing electrocution injuries
  • A snow removal company failing to clear ice, leading to serious falls
  • An elevator repair company ignoring defects, resulting in an elevator accident

Our legal team uncovers every negligent party—not just the obvious ones—to maximize your compensation.

How Hawkins Law Firm Proves Liability

Determining who is responsible in a premises liability case requires a detailed investigation and aggressive legal strategy. Insurance companies won’t admit fault willingly, so we dig deep to build the strongest possible case.

Our legal team:

  • Secures surveillance footage, maintenance records, and property inspections
  • Interviews witnesses and employees who knew about the hazard
  • Consults safety experts to prove negligence and liability
  • Challenges insurance company defenses, preventing them from shifting blame onto you

If multiple parties share responsibility, we pursue claims against every liable entity to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

 

What Compensation Can You Recover?

When a serious injury disrupts your life, the financial burden can be overwhelming. At Hawkins Law Firm, we pursue full compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses – Covers ER visits, surgeries, rehab, and future treatment.
  • Lost Wages & Future Earnings – If you’re unable to work due to your injury.
  • Pain & Suffering – Compensation for physical pain and emotional trauma.
  • Disability & Long-Term Care – Covers ongoing medical support and accommodations.
  • Wrongful Death – If you lost a loved one due to property owner negligence, we fight for funeral costs and financial support for your family.

Insurance companies don’t pay fair settlements willingly. That’s why you need an aggressive legal team on your side.

 

Why Choose Hawkins Law Firm for Your Premises Liability Case?
