Premises Liability

Business owners, landlords and homeowners generally have a duty to protect others from dangerous conditions on their property. When an owner creates a serious hazard that causes harm, our attorneys can evaluate and, if appropriate, pursue a claim.

Dangerous conditions can mean an unsafe construction zone or sidewalk, inadequate security, or any other safety violation or condition that poses a risk of injury to someone.

If you have been injured on another's property, it is important to have an Oregon attorney evaluate any claim you may have against the land owner, manager or landlord. The law provides strict deadlines for bringing injury, insurance and wrongful death claims. It is critical that you contact an attorney if you think that you may have a claim. An Oregon or Washington personal injury attorney based in Portland at Vangelisti Law Firm LLC can provide you a free consultation to discuss your injuries and legal rights with respect to a premises liability claim.

Oregon Law

Under Oregon law, property owners and managers (including business owners, homeowners and property management) generally have a duty to protect others from dangerous conditions on their property in certain circumstances. Determining whether a claim is viable requires analysis of common law and, in some cases, regulatory, statutory, or industry-imposed standards of care.  Our attorneys are licensed in Oregon and Washington, and are qualified to evaluate whether your injuries were the result of a safety violation or a property owner’s failure to protect you from a dangerous condition. Dangerous conditions may occur in many circumstances.
