Premises Liability

The attorneys of Jones Kelleher are committed to using our experience, resources and teamwork to get the maximum results for victims of accidents caused by the negligence of property owners. In states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, property owners and those in control of property are legally responsible to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition for tenants, visitors, and others lawfully on the premises. When a victim is injured by an unsafe and hazardous condition that could have been prevented, the owner and/or entity in control can be held liable for the victim’s injuries. 

For over thirty years, our experienced personal injury attorneys have successfully handled complex premises liability claims. Based on our many years of practice, we know the critical questions to ask in order to develop the best possible case and maximize your potential for recovery by ensuring that all of persons and entities responsible for your injuries are held accountable.
