Holding Negligent Property Owners Financially Accountable
Thanks to Connecticut’s strong personal injury laws, you probably don’t worry about getting hurt when you step foot on public, municipal or private property. Property owners are aware that they are responsible for keeping their premises safe from hazards or notifying visitors that dangerous conditions do exist. If they neglect this duty, injury victims can hold them financially accountable.
Unfortunately, it isn’t rare for property owners to shirk their duty because it can be expensive to fix slip-and-fall and/or trip-and-fall hazards. When they put their profits over your safety, you can depend on our team at Mancini Law to act swiftly and protect your rights aggressively. Our attorneys are known throughout Connecticut for their tireless commitment to their clients and strategic legal approach.

Meeting Conditions For A Strong Premises Liability Claim
Premises liability claims can be expensive to settle because injuries caused by a slip or fall are often severe and long-lasting. For this reason, insurance companies and businesses that are responsible for paying out these claims will go to extreme lengths to fight these claims.
In addition to this fierce opposition, it can be difficult to establish a strong claim without significant legal experience. Liquid or substances on floors, poor lighting, clutter, broken steps or stairs can cause an injury, but the claim also needs to show that:
- The property owner was negligent to allow the condition to develop or persist
- There were not adequate warnings of the condition (no signs, etc.)
- The hazard remained for an “unreasonable” time
- The injuries suffered are serious
This is a complex area of personal injury law and needs to be handled well to get results. Our attorneys know what it takes to create a compelling case in court or in negotiations. If you were wrongfully injured, our attorneys will do everything in their power to get you the medical attention you need, secure persuasive evidence and pursue the maximum compensation that you are entitled to receive.
