Holding Connecticut Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions

Property owners have a responsibility to keep their spaces reasonably safe for the people who enter them. When that responsibility is not met, serious injuries can occur in places people visit every day. A fall on a wet floor, a broken stair, or poor lighting in a parking lot can quickly lead to medical treatment, time away from work, and long-lasting physical challenges.


Individuals and families in Enfield and throughout Connecticut receive personal guidance after being injured on unsafe property. Each case is handled directly by one attorney, supported by a small team that takes the time to understand how the accident occurred and how it has affected your life. The focus remains on steady support, clear communication, and thoughtful legal guidance during a stressful and uncertain time.

What is Premises Liability Under Connecticut Law?

Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that addresses injuries caused by dangerous or poorly maintained property conditions. In Connecticut, property owners, landlords, and property managers may be responsible when someone is injured because a hazard was not repaired, removed, or properly addressed.


These cases often depend on specific details, including how long the unsafe condition existed, whether the owner knew or should have known about it, and whether reasonable steps were taken to prevent harm. Because these factors vary from case to case, premises liability claims can be complex and require careful review from the very beginning.

Common Premises Liability Accidents

Unsafe property conditions can exist in many environments, both public and private. Premises liability claims often involve injuries caused by:


  • Slip and fall accidents on wet, icy, or uneven surfaces

  • Broken or poorly maintained stairs and walkways

  • Loose or missing handrails

  • Inadequate lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking areas

  • Potholes or cracked pavement

  • Falling objects or unsecured items

  • Unsafe conditions in apartment buildings or rental properties

These accidents may occur at grocery stores, restaurants, office buildings, parking lots, apartment complexes, or private homes. In many situations, the injured person was simply going about their day, running errands, visiting friends, or heading to work, with no reason to expect that a routine space would be unsafe. When property conditions are not properly maintained, the result can be sudden injuries that disrupt daily life and create unexpected stress for individuals and families.

Injuries Casued by Unsafe Property Conditions

A premises liability accident can result in injuries that affect daily life, mobility, and long-term health. What may begin as a sudden fall or impact can lead to physical challenges that interfere with work, family responsibilities, and everyday routines. In some cases, recovery requires ongoing medical care, physical therapy, or lasting adjustments to how a person lives and moves.


Common injuries include:


  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries

  • Back, neck, and spinal injuries

  • Soft tissue injuries such as ligament or tendon damage

  • Ongoing pain or reduced mobility

Some injuries may not seem severe at first but can become more serious over time, especially when symptoms develop gradually or treatment is delayed.
