How We Can Help You Through Your Case

Premises liability cases involve unsafe property conditions that result in injuries on someone else’s land, building, or commercial space. Under Wisconsin law, property owners and occupiers in Eau Claire must keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors and guests. Hazards like unsalted ice, broken stairs, poor lighting, or unsecured pets can create dangerous situations. When property owners do not address known issues, we help you understand whether that failure to act played a role in your injury.

Our service begins by listening closely to your story and identifying which Wisconsin premises liability statutes may affect your claim. The facts, type of property, and your reason for being on the premises determine your legal standing. We help you understand the details so you know what to expect and can make informed choices about your claim.

Under Wisconsin law, visitors are categorized into three main groups: invitees, licensees, and trespassers. The level of care owed to you changes with each category, which can affect your ability to recover compensation. In Eau Claire, liability may also depend on whether the property is a local business, public building, or private home. Our team draws on years of experience with premises liability law in Eau Claire to give you region-specific advice that fits your unique circumstances. We also help you gather clear documentation, timely communication, and any evidence that can strengthen your position with insurance or legal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a premises liability claim in Wisconsin?

Premises liability applies when someone is hurt on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions that the owner or occupier should have addressed. Common examples include slips on ice, falls from broken steps, or injuries from inadequate security.

How soon should I reach out after an accident?

Contact an attorney as quickly as possible. Early contact helps preserve important details, evidence, and your eligibility to pursue a claim, since Wisconsin law has time limits on filing.

Do property owners always have to pay for injuries?

Not in every situation. The owner or occupier must have been negligent, meaning they failed to address a hazard that should have been fixed or warned about. Each case depends on its specific facts.

What if I were partially at fault for my injury?

Wisconsin allows people to pursue compensation even if they share some responsibility for what happened. However, your percentage of fault may reduce any recovery. An attorney can explain how this applies to your circumstances.
