Get in Touch

Our experienced attorneys have decades of experience in premise liability law and are here to help you.

Featuring expertise and compassion, our premises liability lawyers are experts at cases involving injuries from situations where a property owner fails to fix unsafe conditions on their property. After all, the owner or operator of the premises is responsible for keeping the premises in reasonably safe condition or or warning you of a dangerous condition. Helping gather and review all evidence, our team of lawyers communicate with you regularly and help you manage your recovery and compensation to help you get through this difficult time in your life.

Common Questions

Experiencing a premise liability injury can cause physical and emotional pain, not to mention the financial stress of medical bills and the time off work to heal. With Murphy & Prachthauser, you can feel confident that you’re getting the best legal advice during this difficult time.

Our slip and fall attorneys will help gather and review all the evidence, such as photos, videos, and witness testimonials of your potential case.

  • Was the issue or hazardous condition that caused the slip and fall injury temporary?
  • Is there adequate evidence to prove the issue existed long enough that the owner or operator of the premises should have discovered and corrected it.
  • If the hazardous condition is permanent, meaning it’s associated with the building’s structure or business operations, has it been in place for seven years or longer?

Unforeseen circumstances, weather, and negligence by property owners can result in dangerous circumstances for you and members of your family. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a slip and fall accident as a result of dangerous premises, then you may have the right to file a legal action.

It is important to take steps for recovery and compensation, as soon as possible. Gathering as much evidence and information as you can upfront will help your slip and fall personal injury attorney prove you have a case and who is legally at fault.

  • Contact a medical provider to help with any slip and fall injuries
  • Alert the property owner about the fall
  • Locate any witnesses and record their names and phone numbers
  • Look for the cause of the fall

Use your phone to take pictures of the scene and document what caused the fall

Businesses or owners of public buildings have responsibilities under Wisconsin’s Safe Place Statute. This statute requires businesses and owners of public buildings to construct, repair and maintain their property to a condition as safe as the nature of the place reasonably permits. A violation of the safe place statute can be demonstrated by failure to follow applicable building codes, or when a property owner fails to remove snow or ice if the owner either knew or should have known of the condition. The safe place law has been applied to an apartment house, a building under construction, a clubhouse, a dance floor, a driveway, a filling station, a business parking lot, and even a light pole.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured as a result of dangerous premises, then you may have the right to file a legal action.
