Bellevue Premises Liability Lawyer
Injuries on unsafe Property
Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable
At Cascade Injury Law, our Bellevue premises liability lawyer team helps injury victims pursue compensation when unsafe property conditions lead to harm. Whether you slipped on a wet floor in a Bellevue grocery store, tripped over broken stairs at an apartment complex in Redmond, or were injured due to poor lighting near a downtown Seattle business, you may have a legal right to recover damages. Property owners-including businesses, landlords, and even government agencies-have a duty under Washington law to maintain property in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail, and injury happens, we step in to hold them accountable.
Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
We represent people hurt in a wide range of property-related injury cases, including:
Unsafe Property Conditions
Incidents involving falling merchandise, broken handrails, faulty elevators, or dangerous swimming pool areas.
Whether your injury occurred in Bellevue, Kirkland, another nearby Eastside community, or the greater seattle/tacoma/Everett area, we're here to help.
Know Your Legal Rights
Your Rights as an Injured Visitor
If you were lawfully on someone else's property and were injured due to unsafe conditions or the owner's failure to fix a known hazard, you may be entitled to compensation. Many people wrongly assume that accidents are just their fault-but under premises liability law in Washington, property owners must act with reasonable care. If you're unsure whether you have a case, talking to a premises liability attorney in Bellevue can help clarify your rights and options.
Proving a Premises Liability Claim
To succeed in a premises liability case, we'll need to show that:

01
The property owner owed you a duty of care
02
They failed to fix or warn about a dangerous condition
03
That failure directly caused your injury
We gather evidence like surveillance footage, witness statements, property maintenance records, and photos of the hazardous condition. If necessary, we hire experts in the fields of property management and design, construction, or architecture to assist in proving your case. We tailor our strategy to each individual case. This thorough, individualized approach allows us to build strong claims that insurance companies take seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions About Property Injury Cases
What if I wasn't paying attention when I fell-can I still recover?
Yes. Washington follows comparative fault rules. If you were partly responsible, your compensation might be reduced, but you can still recover damages.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Washington?
Generally, you have three years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. However, the sooner you speak to a lawyer, the better your chances of preserving evidence.
The property owner's insurer offered me money-should I take it?
Be cautious. Early settlement offers often fall short of what your case is truly worth. Talk to an attorney before signing anything.
