Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that deals with accidents caused by negligent property conditions. Slips and falls are some of the most common types of premises liability accidents, but premises liability also includes many other incidents.
Our Philadelphia premises liability lawyers can assist with the following:
Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC handles premises liability cases involving residential and commercial properties. We can advocate for you no matter where the accident occurred, be it a home, hotel, rental property, theater, supermarket, amusement park, mall, or housing complex.
Financial responsibility for the accident will rest with the property’s owner and the individual, business, or entity responsible for the negligent property condition that led to your injury.
Premises liability accidents can result in severe injuries and significant financial damages. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that slip and fall injuries in older adults result in hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, millions of emergency department visits, and billions of dollars in medical costs annually in the United States.
If your injury was due to negligent property conditions, those liable should pay for your medical care and other accident-related losses. In many cases, you may be able to seek damages with a claim against the at-fault party’s property insurance, though this may be easier said than done.
Insurance is a business, and insurance companies increase their profits by keeping payouts low. Insurance adjusters will look for reasons to reduce or deny claims and do not always treat injured parties fairly or respectfully. Our premises liability attorneys can advocate for you. We will aggressively seek full and fair compensation for:
Every personal injury case is different. There are various factors unique to you and your claim that may influence how much compensation you can recover, including:
Claimants must understand that once they accept an insurance settlement, they cannot demand more compensation later if their injuries and damages are more significant than initially thought. Before agreeing to payment, it may benefit you to consult with our team. We can identify current and future losses and obtain estimates, ensuring you get every cent owed.

Securing compensation for a premises liability injury requires proving negligence. Our Philadelphia law firm can help you build a solid claim based on the following four elements:
The premises liability attorneys at Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC will establish negligence and support claims using evidence, including:
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence system, as outlined in 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102. Essentially, personal injury victims can seek compensation from at-fault parties proportional to the party’s percentage of responsibility for the accident. In addition, any fault born by the victim will reduce their financial awards.
Say you have $100,000 in damages from a slip and fall, but you get assigned 10 percent of the fault because you were on your phone at the time, which the insurance company argues was a distraction. You would ultimately receive a $90,000 settlement.
If a victim is more than 50 percent at fault, they cannot recover any compensation. Therefore, it is in the insurance company’s interest to try to blame injured parties for all or part of an accident to reduce or eliminate their client’s financial liability. Our injury lawyers can stand up to allegations that you acted negligently or wrongfully and argue that you deserve full awards.
Our Philadelphia legal team is here to help restore your life after an accident. We strive to serve all who come to us for help with compassionate care and personalized attention.
When you work with Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, we take time to get to know you and your case so we can develop creative strategies tailored to your needs. Maximizing your compensation is our primary goal, but we also want to relieve your legal burden and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing the case is in good hands.
Our firm will:
Your time to seek compensation for a premises liability accident in Philadelphia is limited. According to 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits is two years. If you do not file a suit within this window, the court will likely dismiss the case.
The deadline will also affect insurance claims. If it passes and you can no longer take legal action, you lose your bargaining power. You could end up with a denied or reduced settlement and no additional options for financial recovery.
You do not have to fight alone. Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC will stand by your side. Our Philadelphia premises liability lawyers will work tirelessly to get the money you need so that you and your loved ones do not pay for someone else’s mistakes.
