Unsafe Property Causes Real Harm. We Make Sure It Doesn't Go Unanswered.
Premises liability law holds property owners, businesses, landlords, and other parties legally responsible when dangerous conditions on their property cause injury. These cases range from slip-and-fall accidents at grocery stores to injuries at apartment complexes, construction sites, and public facilities.
Insurance companies representing property owners often dispute liability, claiming you were aware of the hazard, that it wasn't unreasonably dangerous, or that you were somehow responsible for your own injuries. Jonathan Sapp knows how to counter these defenses.
From our Jasper office, we represent injured Alabamians across Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Walker County, and beyond. Your first consultation is free and carries no obligation.
Alabama Duty of Care by Visitor Type
Invitees (Customers, Guests)
Property owners owe the highest duty of care — they must inspect, maintain, and warn invitees of known and discoverable hazards.
Licensees (Social Visitors)
Owners must warn licensees of known dangers they may not be aware of, but aren't required to inspect or fix all potential hazards.
Trespassers
Generally, owners may not intentionally harm trespassers. Children may receive additional protection under the "attractive nuisance" doctrine.
Common Premises Liability Accidents We Handle
Dangerous conditions on property take many forms. If any of the following resulted in your injury, contact us today.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Wet floors, icy walkways, loose mats, and slippery surfaces in stores, restaurants, and other businesses cause serious injuries daily.
Trip & Fall Accidents
Broken sidewalks, uneven flooring, poorly maintained stairs, inadequate lighting, and exposed cables create dangerous trip hazards.
Inadequate Security
When a property's failure to provide adequate security results in assault, robbery, or other criminal harm, the owner may be liable.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Unfenced or improperly maintained pools are a significant hazard. Drownings and near-drownings often result in serious liability claims.
Falling Objects & Structural Failures
Improperly stored merchandise, deteriorating ceilings, and structural defects can cause sudden, severe injuries without warning.
Dog Bites & Animal Attacks
Alabama law holds pet owners responsible for injuries caused by their animals. We pursue compensation for bite victims of all ages.
How We Handle Your Case
Jonathan Sapp handles every step personally, so you always know exactly where your case stands.
1. Duty of Care
The property owner had a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for you as a visitor.
2. Breach of Duty
The owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you.
3. Causation
The dangerous condition directly caused your injury — not some other factor.

You suffered actual, measurable harm as a result of the accident.
