Anchorage, Alaska Slip and Fall Accident and Premises Liability Lawyer – Elliott T. Dennis
Premises Liability
If you are injured on someone else's property, you may have a premise liability claim and should speak to Anchorage, Alaska premises liability lawyer Elliott T. Dennis. Premises liability claims can be brought against the owner or occupant of a property – including a store, retail building, or apartment complex – for injuries sustained as a result of an unsafe or hazardous condition existing on the property. Premises liability claims are commonly filed by victims of dog bites, workplace and construction site accidents, inadequate or negligent security, and slip and fall accidents.
The owner or lessee of property has a duty to keep the property reasonably safe for other people who are likely to be on the property. Building and safety codes apply to commercial property and private homes. A violation of these codes is negligence. If a known unsafe condition exists which causes a personal injury or wrongful death, the owner of the property is negligent. A premise liability claim can be brought to compensate the accident victim and/or his or her family for the damages suffered.
Anchorage, Alaska premises liability lawyer Elliott T. Dennis knows that each premises liability claim is unique and must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Many factors are taken into consideration when assigning liability for these types of claims, including how long the unsafe condition that caused the injury existed, whether or not reasonable steps were taken to correct the condition, and if the injured person’s behavior contributed to the injury.
A business can be sued for failure to maintain a premise in a reasonably safe condition if it is open to the public and the public is neither protected from known hazards nor provided with adequate security. Businesses that provide security personnel are liable for injuries suffered by patrons who are assaulted by the security personnel. Alaska premises liability lawyer Elliott T. Dennis is familiar with this area of the law since he has handled litigation involving assault and battery by security personnel and inadequate security being provided to patrons of an establishment.

Dennis will evaluate your claim for free and help determine if the property owner is liable for your injuries. If you have been injured, we encourage you to contact our office today.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can occur almost anywhere. At the job site, slippery surfaces can make it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, and carrying heavy equipment can further complicate matters. In climates where it snows, such as Alaska, the presence of ice and snow for long periods of time further increases the chance that a slip and fall accident will occur, as changing weather conditions make it difficult for a landowner or occupier to keep the premises safe. Residents of Anchorage, Alaska and surrounding areas who have been involved in a slip and fall accident need a lawyer who will defend their right to obtain compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and other settlements necessitated from the accident. Slip and fall accidents require early investigation and clear documentation of the facts so evidence of the unsafe condition and the owner’s knowledge of the unsafe condition can be presented to a jury. Without the documentation of the unsafe condition and the owner’s knowledge of the unsafe condition, a slip and fall injury case may be lost.

Dog Bite Claims
Dog bite injuries are a somewhat common occurrence. Anchorage, Alaska premises liability lawyer Elliott T. Dennis has handled several dog bite cases. If a property owner allows a dangerous dog to exist on his/her property and injuries result from a dog attack, a premises liability claim may exist. Vicious dogs can be deadly. A dog mauling can physically and emotionally scar a victim for life.

These cases, like all injury cases, must be promptly and thoroughly investigated as soon after the attack as possible.
