When someone invites you into their store, home, office, job site or workplace, the assumption is that the property owner has done everything they can to keep guests safe.
But if you get hurt because they allowed dangerous conditions on their property, the owner should be held accountable for causing you harm. Their negligence may mean you have a personal injury claim for compensation.
If you’re in Fort Wayne or anywhere in Northeast Indiana or Central Indiana, the premises liability lawyers at Fletcher Van Gilder can support you through the process, helping you pursue financial relief.
Whether you slipped and fell in a hospital or got hurt by falling inventory in a store, if a property owner knows a hazard exists and does nothing, they could be held liable for your injuries.
These aren’t easy claims to make. You’ll need significant evidence to prove that a property owner knowingly endangered people.
The FVG team of personal injury lawyers knows what it takes to help you make your case. We’ll work with you to hold negligent parties responsible for the injuries you suffered.
Don’t make a statement to an insurance company. Don’t automatically accept the first settlement offer they send.

No fee until you win compensation.
