Premises liability includes unsafe stairwells, elevators, escalators, floors, sidewalks, and parking lots, which can cause serious personal injury. Premises liability matters involve claims against property owners, managers, contractors, government entities, and builders for either creating a hazardous condition or for failing to fix a hazard before an accident occurs.

The experienced Philadelphia premises liability lawyers at Messa Law litigate these cases by investigating the accident site, evaluating building and other relevant codes, and consulting with the experts, experienced architects, engineers, or builders.
