Premises Liability
If you suffered an injury in a store, a public building, an apartment complex, or another property, you might have a strong claim for compensation. When you consult with an attorney at Stine & Associates, P.C., we’ll diligently assess your case to find out whether the property owner’s negligence created a dangerous situation that led to the incident.
Premises liability cases cover a wide range of injury-causing incidents, but the most common hazards include:
- Faulty stairs and banisters
- Broken floors
- Wet and slippery floors
- Slippery or curled-up carpets
- Hazardous sidewalks
- Protective or aggressive dogs
- Swimming pools
- Fire safety negligence
In premises liability cases, the property owner’s negligence must be proven. This step can be challenging.

If we can find sufficient evidence, you may be eligible for compensation to cover your losses, such as medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering — and our skilled attorneys will assist you with your claim.
Product Liability
Product manufacturers can be held liable for selling unsafe products and marketing products in an irresponsible manner.
If you were injured due to a defective product, whether the defect originated in the factory or lies in the design or marketing of the product, you can pursue a claim to recover compensation for the harm that it caused you.
As your attorney team, we’ll collect evidence to establish who is responsible, whether that party is the manufacturer, the distributor, or another company in the product supply chain. We’ll construct a narrative based on facts to help you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
We work with clients who have been injured by:
- Defective medications
- Inaccurate instructions for prescription drugs
