Premise Liability Attorneys
Premise liability is a legal concept which makes the person who owns land or premises liable for certain injuries that people can suffer on their property as a result of unsafe or defective conditions that typically result from negligence. In order to win a premise liability claim, the plaintiff must prove that negligence in ownership and/or maintenance of the premises on the part of the property owner is what caused their injury.
While simply being injured on someone else’s property does not automatically mean that they have not exercised reasonable care in the condition of their property, if the owner should have known that their premises were in an unsafe condition or they failed to properly maintain it, they can be held liable for injuries that result from these conditions. Property owners have a responsibility to regularly inspect their property to make sure that it is a safe environment, warn of any unsafe conditions while they work to have them remedied, and fix said unsafe conditions. Failure to do so means that you can file a premise liability claim against them for injuries that occur from said failures.
An experienced attorney from LeBaron & Jensen will be able to investigate your injury and its cause of it and gather evidence in order to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve in a premise liability claim.
Factors Impacting Premise Liability Cases
Many different kinds of personal injury cases fall under the umbrella of premise liability, including: slip and fall accidents, dog bites, poor lighting, faulty equipment, fires, toxic fumes or chemicals, inadequate security, inadequate maintenance, negligence, water leaks or flooding, swimming pool accidents, and more. There are many different factors that affect premise liability cases, ranging from the property owner’s duty of care to the types of property hazards which can cause injury.
The Property Owner’s Duty Of Care
While property owners have the responsibility to exercise reasonable care to ensure that their property has a safe environment for anyone who could enter the premises, in some states, there are laws which affect the property owner’s duty of care, depending on the nature of the person on their property. These are classified as: invitees, licensees, and trespassers.
- Invitee: An invitee is someone who has been invited onto the premises, such as a store customer or a social guest.
- Licensee: A licensee is someone who enters a property for their own purpose at the consent of the owner.
- Trespasser: A trespasser is someone who does not have permission to be on the premises, however, if the trespasser was a child, than the landowner has the duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable harm to them that can be caused by artificial conditions, as in the case where they have a swimming pool on their property.
Since the rules and regulations in regards to the property owner’s duty of care can be complex and vary from state to state, it’s important to consult with an attorney with potential premise liability cases.
Types Of Premise Liability Cases
Since premise liability cases include so many different types of personal injuries as a result of the property owner’s negligence, you may not know if you have a premise liability case on your hands. These cases can vary based on the individual circumstances, so if you want to know whether or not you can file a premise liability claim, you will want to schedule a case review with an attorney.

- Hazardous conditions, such as snow and ice

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
