Types of Carlsbad Premises Liability Cases We Handle

The ways in which someone might suffer injuries on another person’s property here in Carlsbad or elsewhere in Eddy County are endless. Some of the more common injury incidents our premises liability attorneys handle include:

  • Rental or office building environmental hazards: These may include lead paint, carbon monoxide, or mold exposure.
  • Negligent security matters: These may include failures of landlords to change rental property locks between tenants or to have adequate security measures in place like security gates or roving security guards despite knowing there’s the potential for criminal activity in the area.
  • Slips, trips, and falls: These may occur on poorly maintained, slippery pool decks, in grocery store aisles, or along office building lobby floors, on uneven, cracked sidewalks, or even on cluttered or poorly lit stairwells.
  • Dog bites: A canine may run out of its owner’s home, get loose from its yard, or become aggressive while on a walk with its human companion, attacking and injuring anyone in its path.
  • Physical violence: Assaults, including physical or sexual ones, may have stemmed from a bar not cutting off a customer from ordering alcohol early enough, or bouncers at a club may not have broken up a fight and ordered dueling parties to go home, resulting in a brawl on their premises that left someone hurt.

The list above is only a small snapshot of the injuries someone may suffer on another person’s New Mexico property that warrants the filing of a premises liability lawsuit. Swimming pool drownings, struck-by injuries near construction or oil and gas worksites, elevator or escalator malfunctions, electrocutions, parking lot or garage incidents, and building collapses are all examples of situations that may warrant the filing of a Carlsbad premises liability claim too.
