Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable in Baltimore & Across Maryland

When someone gets hurt on unsafe property, the law allows you to hold the owner or occupier responsible. As experienced Maryland and Washington, D.C. premises liability lawyers, we represent people injured because a property wasn’t maintained, hazards weren’t fixed, or safety measures were ignored. From a slip on a wet grocery store floor in Canton to a carbon monoxide leak in a Highlandtown rental home—or unsafe conditions in Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, or throughout D.C.—we know how to prove negligence and fight for full compensation.

When an Injury on Someone Else’s Property Becomes a Legal Claim

Premises liability law covers a wide range of situations—slip-and-falls, trip hazards, negligent security, unsafe staircases, and more. The key is showing that the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. This applies to homes, apartments, retail stores, office buildings, parking lots, and even outdoor spaces.

Specialty Cases Require Specialized Knowledge

We’re one of the few Maryland firms that takes on unusual and complex property injury cases. Our attorneys have handled claims involving carbon monoxide poisoning, lead paint exposure, building collapses, and elevator malfunctions—cases that demand technical expertise and a strong understanding of landlord and property maintenance laws.

Proving Negligence on a Property

We dig deep for evidence—maintenance records, prior complaints, safety inspection logs, surveillance video, and building code violations. Expert witnesses may testify about how a staircase failed to meet code or how lighting was inadequate for safety. We connect the dots between the property owner’s failure and your injury.

Overcoming Maryland’s Tough Contributory Negligence Rule

In Maryland, if you’re found even 1% at fault, you could be barred from recovery. Property owners often try to shift blame to the injured person. We counter this by showing the hazard wasn’t obvious, or that you acted as any reasonable person would have in the same situation.
