Premises Liability
At Porteous, Hainkel and Johnson, L.L.P. our team has successfully represented clients injured from falls, assault, falling objects and animal attacks.  We are experienced in dealing with all types of premises liability injuries occurring on public, private and commercial property.  Premises liability cases are often based on injuries occurring in residential and commercial buildings, hotels and casinos, airports, healthcare facilities, parking facilities, amusement parks, and more.  

The firm handles a wide variety of premises liability claims. The litigation ranges from wrongful death and catastrophic injuries to slip and fall claims. We represent land and building owners, developers, general contractors and employers in this area.

Our attorneys regularly defend landowners and operators of businesses who have been sued as a result of a person’s injury while on the landowner’s land or the business’s premises.

We also represent landlords and tenants in declaratory judgment actions and actions for indemnification where there is a dispute as to whether the landlord or the tenant is responsible for a person’s injuries. Such a dispute may arise where the injury occurs in a common area or where the lease agreement specifically assigns repair and maintenance duties to a party.
