Premises liability accidents can lead to serious personal injuries. Because someone else was careless, you can be injured on a wet floor, or by boxes that fall off high shelves in a store, or by defective equipment or building design. Because a pet owner was negligent in keeping a vicious animal under control, you are attacked and seriously injured. Or your child falls at a poorly protected fast food restaurant.
When a property owner – whether an individual, a corporation, or a government agency – fails to take steps to keep you safe or fails to warn you of hazards on their property, they should be held responsible.
If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt, contact a premises liability attorney at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya. You may be entitled to payment for medical expense and other out-of-pocket expenses, as well as for damages from pain and suffering, physical or mental disability, lost wages and future income, and diminished quality of life.

We have a network of highly trained doctors and medical specialists who can treat your injuries, we are skilled at building your case, and we excel at negotiating to get you the reimbursement you deserve.
Commercial premises often are owned by big corporations and are covered by big insurance companies with lots of lawyers. It takes a smart, aggressive attorney like Dianne Sawaya to force those insurance companies to part with the money they owe you.
In our combined 65 years of practice, insurance companies have learned that if they don’t offer you a fair settlement, our premises injury attorneys won’t hesitate to take your personal injury case to trial and litigate your needs in front of a judge and jury.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, call The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya now at (303) 758-4777 or email us for a free evaluation of your premises injury case.
There’s no obligation, and if we work together we won’t charge you a fee unless we get you a settlement or jury award.

Collateral source rule. This says that the fact or amount of any collateral source payment (such as from a plaintiff’s medical insurance) shall not be admitted as evidence in an action against a third-party tortfeasor.
