Dangerous Conditions Can Lead to Serious Injuries

Property owners in Bellevue, around the Greater Seattle/Tacoma/Everett area, and throughout Washington have a legal duty to maintain safe, hazard-free environments for tenants, customers, and visitors. When they fail to do so-whether by ignoring broken stair, failing to clean spills, failing to repair walking surfaces, or failing to clear snow and ice - accidents happen.


If you were hurt because of unsafe property conditions, our premises liability lawyer can investigate the circumstances, prove negligence, and pursue fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

When Safety Is Neglected

Common Examples of Unsafe Conditions

In our legal experience, many hazardous property situations stem from issues such as:


  • Wet floors without warning signs
  • Uneven sidewalks, loose tiles, or potholes
  • Broken handrails or stairs
  • Poor lighting in hallways or parking garages
  • Exposed wires or dangerous equipment
  • Accumulated ice or snow that hasn't been removed

We handle both indoor and outdoor premises liability claims across commercial, residential, and public spaces.

When Property Owners Are Liable

In Washington, owners and occupiers of property are generally required to exercise reasonable care in maintaining their premises. This includes:

Fixing known hazards promptly

03

Posting warnings when issues can't be immediately addressed

To succeed in a claim, we must prove that the owner either knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to act. Our firm gathers surveillance footage, maintenance logs, witness testimony, and expert inspections to build a strong case.

Injuries Caused by Unsafe Conditions

A fall or accident caused by property defects can result in a range of serious injuries, including:

Broken bones or fractures

Traumatic brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Burns or electrical shock

Cuts and lacerations

Joint dislocations and torn ligaments

These injuries can lead to long-term disability, lost wages, and significant medical expenses-costs that a negligent owner should be responsible for.

FAQ: Bellevue Unsafe Property Cases

  • What if the hazard was obvious-can I still recover damages?

    It depends. Washington uses comparative fault, so your compensation could be reduced if you were partly at fault-but you may still be entitled to recover damages.

  • Do businesses have to inspect their property regularly?

    Yes. Commercial property owners are expected to perform routine inspections and respond to hazards promptly.

  • Can I sue if I was injured in an apartment common area?

    Yes. Landlords and property managers are responsible for maintaining safe shared spaces like hallways, stairwells, and parking lots.
