Injured on Unsafe Property in Mobile, Alabama? We Can Help.

Slip-and-fall injuries and other accidents on someone else’s property can be more serious than most people realize. A cracked sidewalk in Downtown Mobile, a wet floor at a Midtown grocery store, or poorly lit stairs at a local apartment complex can lead to life-changing injuries.

At Maloney-Lyons, LLC, our Mobile premises liability lawyers understand what you’re going through — and we’re here to help. With nearly two decades of experience, we’ve represented injured clients throughout Mobile County, holding negligent property owners accountable and fighting for the compensation victims deserve.

What Is Premises Liability?

Under Alabama law, property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for guests, customers, and tenants. When they fail to do so, and someone gets hurt, the property owner may be legally responsible for the injuries.

  • Slip, trip and fall injuries
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Injuries on uneven or slippery ground
  • Snow and ice-related accidents
  • Elevator, escalator and stair accidents
  • Swimming pool-related injuries

The most common causes of these injuries are poor maintenance, defective products and otherwise poor property conditions. For example, a light may go out and remain unchanged for some time, resulting in you tripping and falling down the stairs. Or, an ice storm may hit, and the owner may neglect to treat the sidewalks outside their property in a timely manner, resulting in serious slip-and-fall accidents. These injuries are typically avoidable and occur due to property owner negligence.

Common Injuries from Unsafe Property Conditions

Even a “simple fall” can result in serious or permanent injuries. We’ve helped Mobile accident victims recover compensation for:

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries

  • Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs

  • Torn ligaments and soft tissue injuries

  • Facial injuries, dental trauma, or scarring

  • Long-term mobility issues or disability

FAQs – Premises Liability in Mobile, AL

Q: What should I do if I’m injured on someone else’s property in Mobile?

  • Seek medical treatment immediately — visit Springhill Medical Center, USA Health University Hospital, or your closest ER.

  • Report the incident to the property manager or business owner right away.

  • Take photos of the hazardous condition (wet floor, broken steps, etc.).

  • Get contact information from any witnesses.

  • Contact a local premises liability attorney before speaking with the insurance company.

Q: Who can be held responsible?
Liability may fall on the property owner, landlord, business tenant, or maintenance company — depending on who was responsible for keeping the area safe. We investigate thoroughly to determine fault.

Q: What if the accident happened at a store or business?
Businesses in Mobile — like grocery stores, shopping centers, or restaurants — are required to clean spills, repair hazards, and warn visitors of dangers. If they fail to do so, and you’re hurt, they may be liable for your injuries.

Q: How long do I have to file a claim?
In Alabama, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

Q: Will I have to go to court?
Most premises liability cases settle before trial. But if needed, we are fully prepared to take your case to Mobile County Circuit Court to fight for what you deserve.
