Avoiding premises liability accidents

To prevent an accident while visiting a location, we have a few suggestions to offer.

2. Shoes – Make sure you wear shoes that have adequate tread and grip support.
3. Avoid outlets – When you can, avoid electrical outlets while outside.
4. Report – If you do see something that is potentially dangerous, alert the proper authorities.

How We Evaluate Premises Liability Legal Funding

Evaluating a premises liability settlement loan can be tricky. We have specialists in-house and provide the best rate possible on cases that we fund. Our team focuses primarily on the following factors:

• Liability: Our team asks about your injury and how it happened.
• Damages: We ask for basic medical info about your case and personal injuries.
• Insurance coverage and medical expenses: Lastly, we ask about how much insurance coverage exists and what medical providers will have liens on your case.

Once we have this information, we determine the extent of the defendant’s liability. We can then predict the value of your premises liability case and how much you qualify for.

Approval for premises liability lawsuit funding is based on liability. Damages, personal injury, insurance coverage, and medical expenses determine the amount of funding. To learn more, take a look at our legal funding guide.

Types of injuries

While premises liability accidents may seem harmless, they are not. As stated earlier, falls are one of the top causes of non-fatal medical treatments in the United States.

Below is a list of the most common premises liability injuries:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Broken bones and fractures
• Electrical shocks
• Burns
• Shoulder injuries
• Soft-tissue injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are among the most severe slip and fall injuries. This is why premises liability claims can have extremely high case values.

Make sure you get proper medical treatment as soon as possible after the incident occurs. Not every injury is immediately apparent.

Duty of care

Each property owner is expected to uphold a certain duty of care. This means they must take reasonable precautions to ensure any invitee who visits will not be harmed for the duration of their stay.

There are three different types of individuals who might enter any given property:

• Invitees
• Licensees
• Trespassers

An invitee has the express or implied consent of the owner to enter the premises. This means they could be a paying patron, someone conducting work, etc.

A licensee is someone who has the express or implied consent of the owner to enter the premises for social purposes, such as a friend or family member.

A trespasser does not have consent to be on the premises. If a trespasser is harmed while on the premises, they are generally not allowed to seek compensation. This is because they were on the premises without the knowledge or permission of the owner. As such, the owner could not ensure that the area was safe and up to code.

FAQs

Below we have listed some of the most common questions asked about premises liability lawsuit loans.

Will bad credit affect my chances of getting a lawsuit loan?

Bad credit will never affect your chances of getting a lawsuit loan from Uplift because we base our legal funding on the quality of your case.

This means that your personal employment or credit history has no bearing on whether you receive pre-settlement funding from Uplift.

Because the settlement funding is not based on your history, you are not the one who has to pay us back. When you win your case, it is your attorney’s responsibility to forward us the funds. If for any reason your settlement is smaller than the amount of legal funding that you have to repay, you don’t have to pay the full amount back.

Will my premises liability claim rates change?

Uplift will never change your pre-settlement funding rates. We offer rates between 17.5% and 22.5%. These are non-compounding, which means we only charge based on the original funded amount.

With these simple, non-compounding rates, we can save plaintiffs money compared to the competition.

How will a lawsuit loan benefit my premises liability claim?

There are many benefits to getting legal funding for your claim. Below, we have listed just a few reasons why you should consider it:

• Larger settlements – With legal funding, you will be able to stay on your case longer and therefore have a higher chance of getting a larger settlement.
• Financial relief – You won’t have to worry about making payments.
• Better bargaining tool – With legal funding, you will be able to bargain with the insurance company more effectively.
• Reject low settlements – An insurance company may try to lowball you; with legal funding, you can reject their offer.
