Mississippi Premises Liability Attorneys in JACKSON, MS

Those injured in an accident on property belonging to another person or entity could be entitled to file a premises liability claim against the owner of the property. Although slip and fall accidents are, by and large, the primary cause of premises liability claims, there are many other scenarios which are responsible for serious injury and may be eligible for a premises liability claim. Owners, or those in control of properties are responsible for keeping the property as safe as possible, and free of hazards which could cause injury.

If you have suffered an injury due to negligence on the part of a property owner, or the person in charge of the property, you may have a premises liability claim. The attorneys of Coxwell & Associates have helped many of those injured in such an accident receive an equitable settlement which allows them to refocus on their futures.
