$1 million premises liability settlement during trial: Electrocution. Our client was shopping at a clothing store and when she raised her arm to try on a shirt, her hand touched a light bulb socket that was unprotected and she was electrocuted. The electrical shock caused her to develop a condition known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). This caused almost permanent damage to the nerves in her arm. A jury had been selected and the trial was about to begin when the defendant paid its entire insurance policy to resolve the case.

As a result of our relentless and "no stone unturned" approach, our firm has achieved:
Premises liability accidents can occur in hotels, apartments, homes, restaurants, casinos, and cruise ships. The owner of an apartment house or hotel complex can also be held liable if the railing or balcony fails and causes catastrophic injury or death. Loose electrical cords, liquids, ice, snow, defective stairways, loose handrails, pavements, and uneven surfaces are frequent causes of slip and fall accidents.
Many times, slip and fall accidents produce serious injuries with painful consequences such as spinal cord damage, brain injury, broken bones, dislocated joints, paraplegia, and quadriplegia. The recovery for these injuries may require you to take time off from work and undergo extensive medical procedures as well as lengthy rehabilitation.
Many disabilities can be permanent, resulting in loss of earning capacity. Unfortunately, many serious premises liability cases result in death.
When you visit a restaurant, hotel, or any other business facility, the owner and operator of that premises owes you the highest duty of care to safely protect you. According to travel and hotel industry statistics, premises liability claims account for almost half of all hotel accidents. Bathrooms, bathtubs, and balconies are among the top places that they occur. Another example of a premises liability case may involve carbon monoxide poisoning or inadequate or negligent security.
In one premises liability case handled by our firm, gusts of wind caused branches to come loose from a tree, falling down on our client's loved one and crushing them to death. In another case, a sign became detached because of a gust of high wind and killed an innocent pedestrian in its path who was passing by.
The Beasley Firm has successfully represented individuals who have fallen from balconies when a railing gave way during spring holiday season. Hotel operators and apartment home operators owe the public the highest duty to make sure that balconies are safe and that railings are installed and maintained under appropriate codes, ensuring one's safety.
Issues with inadequate and negligent security are called into play when a victim is assaulted, raped, or even killed at an apartment complex, hotel, or other business entity due to poor security. Of course, the safety and privacy of all guests, tenants, and residents should and must be a top priority for owners and operators of hotels, apartment homes and all businesses.
Many times, inadequate security and premises liability cases occur due to poor lighting, and lack of easily affordable technology and security devices, such as closed circuit cameras. Our Philadelphia premises liability law firm has successfully represented the families of individuals in inadequate security claims where the victim has been killed, raped, stabbed, burned, suffocated, or assaulted due to the failure of a property owner to maintain proper security.
The Philadelphia premises liability lawyers of The Beasley Firm have the experience necessary to prove that the owner of the property knew or should have known that a hazardous condition was present on his or her premises. If the dangerous condition was present for a length of time and the owner by carrying out practical and regular care should have found out about the condition, then the owner of the property would be presumed to have constructive knowledge and be held liable for monetary damages. The Beasley Firm has been awarded numerous verdicts and settlements in excess of millions of dollars for victims of slip and fall and premises liability claims.
