Wellington Premises Liability

Do you know what your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy covers? Virtually everyone purchases such coverage to protect their belongings in the event of a catastrophe like a fire or burglary; however, that's not all an insurance policy should include.

Your policy should also provide liability coverage. This type of coverage is essential for protecting your financial security because property owners-and sometimes renters-can be held responsible for damages that result from accidents on their premises.

Under premises liability law, those who own residential or commercial property have a duty of care to maintain their premises to a reasonable standard. If they fail to do so and someone gets hurt, they may be held financially liable.

In most cases, the negligent property owner does not actually cover the victim's losses out of pocket. Instead, the injured party pursues compensation from the insurance company.

Although insurance adjusters can be warm, personable, and even sympathetic, they are not on the claimant's side. In fact, the insurance company's goal is in direct opposition to yours. The claims adjuster wants to settle for as little as possible while you want to secure every penny that you deserve.

Since insurance adjusters are essentially professional negotiators, it is wise for accident victims to enlist help from a seasoned attorney. If you were hurt on someone else's property and need assistance with the claims process, turn to Weston & Pape.
