Fargo Dangerous Property Lawyers
Fargo premises liability attorneys helping customers, shoppers, and other property users hold owners liable for their negligence

At Larson Law Firm P.C., our Fargo dangerous property lawyers file claims when customers slip and fall, are struck by objects, are attacked while on the property, are bitten by a dog, or are harmed in other ways. We understand who is liable and why they’re liable. We demand full compensation for your financial damages and personal injuries.

What types of dangerous properties owe a duty of care to others?
Any property that is open to the public can pose a danger if the owners fail to regularly inspect the property for slippery surfaces, loose railings, snow that hasn’t been cleared in a timely fashion, and the possibility of falling.
Property owners who work with large amounts of money need to be extra cautious to ensure the security of their customers. Generally, property that is being built from the ground up, is being repaired, or is being improved requires extra caution.
Some of the Faro property owners who need to take preventive safety measures on behalf of their customers and visitors include restaurants, hotels, motels, retail stores, construction sites, industrial sites, professional offices, bars, taverns, parking garages, apartments, and any place where people are likely to gather.
What types of accidents that occur at Fargo properties do you handle?
At Larson Law Firm P.C., our Fargo dangerous property lawyers handle the full range of accidents that may occur while you’re on someone else’s property:
- Slip and falls. Many premises liability claims involve a customer or visitor who slips and falls. A few examples include slipping on spilled liquids, icy parking lots, rainy entrances, and waxed floors. Property owners need to protect against all types of falls including falling due to loose cables and wires, merchandise on the floor, broken tiles, torn carpets, loose railings, uneven stairs, and many other reasons.
- Negligent security. Property owners need to take preventive measures to prevent anyone on the property from being attacked. Preventive steps include hiring security guards, installing locks and fences, using video cameras, and limiting access to the property.
- Dog bites. These may occur if the property owner has a dog or allows someone with a dog to use the premises. The owners may be responsible for failing to inquire if the dog has a propensity to bite or to forbid dogs, other than service dogs, from being admitted onto the property.
- Construction accidents. Roadway and building construction sites need to block off dangerous areas from pedestrians. Construction owners can be liable to non-employees who are injured while working at the construction site.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning. Hotels, motels, residential complexes, and other property owners that allow people to sleep on the property at night need to have carbon monoxide monitors for each room, apartment, or unit.
- Nursing homes. Nursing homes owe many duties to their residents and the families who visit. One such duty is to ensure that the residents and visitors don’t slip and fall or become injured while on the premises.
Our Fargo dangerous property owners also handle claims involving dangerous toxins and molds.
How do you assert my rights in a dangerous property claim?
Our Fargo dangerous property lawyers use many different methods to prove:
- A property owner owed you a duty of care. Generally, property owners owe a duty of care to the people they invite onto their property or allow onto their property. Property owners may also be liable to trespassers if they create an “attractive nuisance” that entices people to enter the property. The attractive nuisance claim generally applies to children who may be attracted to visible types of equipment, power lines, ladders, or anything that may raise their curiosity.
- The property owner breached that duty of care.
- The breach caused your injuries or the death of a loved one.
We work with investigators who examine the property, speak with witnesses, and take pictures and videos of the accident site. We review whether any building codes were violated. Our lawyers work with professionals who are experienced in the type of business involved so we can understand the types of best practices that should have been followed.
Our lawyers use the discovery process to question everyone with information about the incident. We also seek all relevant documents, such as any prior complaints by other accident victims.
We review your injuries with your physicians and other health professionals to fully understand and verify what injuries you have, the treatments you’ll need, the seriousness of your medical condition, and the cost of your care. We also review with your employer how much income you’re losing because you can’t do your job.
Once the discovery phase is complete, we submit a formal demand letter to the insurance carriers. If your case can be settled, we finalize the settlement. If your case does not settle, we present your case before a jury of your Fargo peers.
