Nashville Premises Liability Attorney


Skilled Premises Liability Lawyers Serving Clients in the Nashville Area

Many personal injury cases start innocently enough in a retail store or even someone else’s home. A customer may slip and fall on a puddle the store neglected to clean up. A faulty staircase rail collapses, causing a visitor to trip and fall. Negligent security may enable an attacker to enter a hotel after hours and assault a guest.

All of these situations fall under the category of premises liability. All Tennessee property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises in reasonably safe condition. When a visitor to the property is injured due to a hazardous condition that the owner knew about–or should have known about–the victim may be entitled to compensation.

Our Skilled Trial Lawyers Can Help You Win Your Premises Liability Case

Property owners are not liable for every accident that occurs on their premises. Tennessee courts have repeatedly said liability is based on the owner’s “superior knowledge of the premises.” The owner must exercise “reasonable care” to prevent injuries to invited guests and other persons who visit the property legally.

In a premises liability case, the victim must prove the owner–or an operator or agent acting on the owner’s behalf–created a dangerous condition that directly led to the victim’s injury. Even if the owner did not have actual notice of the dangerous condition, liability still exists if there was “constructive notice.” This means the owner (or their agents) should have discovered and remedied the defective condition through the exercise of “proper diligence.”

At Bednarz & Bednarz, our attorneys have over 60 years combined experience in handling premises liability and other personal injury claims. We understand the difficulty victims face in proving their case. The property owners are typically at an advantage since they control the premises and access to most of the evidence, including employees who were witnesses.

Commercial insurers also have a great deal of experience in defending against premises liability claims. This is why you need someone on your side who knows the law, knows the insurance companies, and knows to how to make sure your claim is taken seriously.
