Common Injuries in Tucson Premises Liability Cases
Property owners, leaseholders, and managers must regularly inspect their properties, provide routine maintenance, and make prompt repairs to dangerous conditions. Still, the most common types of premises accidents include the following:
- Slip-and-falls
- Trip-and-falls
- Pool injuries
- Staircase, elevator, and escalator accidents
- Structure fires
- Inadequate security
- Dog bites
- Structural collapses, including ceilings and balconies
