Holding Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, accidents and serious injuries can occur.

We understand the challenges victims face after an accident on someone else’s property. Our attorneys investigate the circumstances of your injury, determine liability, and fight to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
At Van Natten & Dempsey, we represent clients in a broad range of premises liability claims. These include slip and fall accidents on wet or uneven surfaces, unsafe walkways or staircases, poor lighting that contributes to accidents, and negligent security leading to assaults or injuries.
We also handle claims involving falling objects, dog bites, and other dangerous property conditions in stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, and private homes. No matter how your accident occurred, our attorneys work to hold property owners accountable for the harm caused.
Proving Negligence in Premises Liability Cases
Establishing liability requires showing that a property owner knew—or reasonably should have known—about a hazardous condition and failed to correct it. Our attorneys at Van Natten & Dempsey conduct detailed investigations to uncover the facts. We gather physical evidence, review maintenance records, interview witnesses, and, when appropriate, consult safety experts. This thorough approach ensures that your claim is supported by strong, credible evidence and positioned for success.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Property owners and businesses typically rely on insurance carriers to defend against claims, and these companies are often quick to deny responsibility or minimize payouts. Our attorneys are highly experienced in negotiating with insurers and know the tactics they use to undervalue cases. We step in to handle all communication and negotiations, ensuring you are not pressured into an unfair settlement. With our firm on your side, you can be confident your rights and financial recovery are protected.
Taking Your Claim to Court if Necessary
While many premises liability cases can be resolved through negotiation, some require litigation to achieve a fair result. If settlement talks break down, our attorneys are fully prepared to present a persuasive case in court. We carefully prepare for trial from the very beginning, so we are ready to advocate for you before a judge or jury if necessary. Having Van Natten & Dempsey by your side means you will have skilled, committed representation at every stage of the process.
