Cannon & Dunphy, S.C. has won more $10 million and higher awards than any other personal injury law firm in Wisconsin.
Premises Liability
Owners of buildings and owners of
land have a legal obligation to ensure their premises
are safe. What constitutes "safe" can depend on the
individual circumstances, but generally speaking owners
must take steps to prevent foreseeable harm to people
who enter their premises. Premises liability claims can
stem from slip and falls, porch collapses, building code
violations, or the failure to maintain premises in a
safe manner (like timely removing snow from walkways or
deicing stairways).
A sample of Cannon & Dunphy's previous
results in Premises Liability cases:
-
$17.2 million jury verdict in a premises liability
case involving severe burn injuries to three masons.
This is one of the largest personal injury verdicts
and the first eight figure personal injury jury
verdict in Wisconsin history.
-
$2.6 million awarded to a construction worker in a
premises liability case against the general
contractor, carpenter contractor, and architect for
spinal cord injuries sustained in a fall when the
roof trusses collapsed due to improper bracing.
