When you visit a store, restaurant, apartment, or even a neighbor’s house, you expect the property to be safe. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Dangerous conditions can cause serious injuries, leaving victims with medical bills, lost income, and lasting pain. If you’ve been hurt because of unsafe property conditions in Helena or anywhere in Montana, Wall, McLean & Gallagher, PLLC is here to help.
We provide clear guidance, compassionate support, and aggressive advocacy to hold negligent property owners accountable.
Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or hazardous conditions. Whether it’s a wet floor in a grocery store or a poorly maintained sidewalk outside an office building, property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors.
At Wall, McLean & Gallagher, we’ve handled a wide range of premises liability cases and understand how to prove negligence, gather evidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common premises liability claims. They can occur in grocery stores, restaurants, workplaces, or even private homes. Causes include wet floors, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or icy walkways.
Slip and falls may sound minor, but they often result in broken bones, head injuries, or long-term back problems. We help victims pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing care.
Dog owners in Montana have a responsibility to control their pets. A dog bite can cause not only physical injury but also emotional trauma, especially for children. Victims may face scarring, infections, or the need for reconstructive surgery.
Our attorneys understand Montana’s laws regarding dog bite liability and are ready to help you hold negligent pet owners accountable.
Property owners such as apartment complexes, hotels, or shopping centers may be responsible if poor security leads to assaults, robberies, or other injuries. Inadequate lighting, broken locks, or lack of security staff can create dangerous conditions.
If you’ve been harmed because of negligent security, we’ll work to show how the property owner’s lack of precautions contributed to your injuries.
From broken stairs to loose railings or faulty electrical wiring, unsafe property conditions can create serious hazards. Injuries caused by these issues may include falls, electrocutions, or burns.
Our job is to investigate and prove the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions, protecting your rights and your recovery.
Swimming pools are a source of fun—but also risk. When property owners fail to provide proper supervision, fencing, or maintenance, accidents can occur. Drownings and near-drownings can have devastating consequences.
