Testimonials
When everyone else said there wasn't precedence for my case, Stewart Miller Simmons Trial Attorneys jumped right in and got the job done. Their commitment to ensuring justice was served was unparalleled. I am grateful for the professionalism and care that Attorney Chris Stewart and Senior Paralegal Keisha Owens displayed. I highly recommend this firm.
Miss Cheryl Henderson was very professional when I contacted the law firm about the accident that I was involved in. She did such a great job that the next accident I was involved in, I had no doubt who I was going to call.
Thank you for all your help and guidance. You truly made me feel at ease during the whole process. Which enabled me to focus on my recovery. I can not express what you and your firm has done for me as well as my father.
A fall on uneven pavement. A burn from exposed wiring. An injury caused by poor lighting in a stairwell. These incidents often point to one thing—negligence. Property owners are responsible for keeping their spaces safe. When they don’t, people get hurt. The consequences go beyond physical pain. Victims face hospital visits, lost wages, and emotional stress. Recovery can take weeks, months, or longer. The bills don’t wait. The trauma doesn’t fade quickly. In Maryland, we’ve seen how quickly a simple outing can turn into a life-changing event. Stewart Miller Simmons Trial Attorneys helps victims uncover the truth behind their injuries. We examine maintenance records, past complaints, and the condition of the property. Maryland premises liability attorneys know how to connect the dots and prove fault. We fight for those who were hurt because someone didn’t do their job. We don’t let property owners hide behind excuses or delay accountability. Every unsafe condition tells a story. Every injury deserves a response. We’re here to make sure the harm is acknowledged and the damage is paid for.
Negligence Turns Everyday Places Into Danger Zones
Grocery stores, apartment buildings, office complexes, and public walkways are part of daily life. People expect these places to be safe. But when property owners ignore hazards, those everyday spaces become dangerous. A wet floor without a warning sign. A broken light in a stairwell. A loose tile that’s been reported but never repaired. These are the kinds of conditions that lead to serious injuries. In Maryland, we’ve seen how quickly a routine errand can turn into a trip to the emergency room. Victims often face physical pain, financial stress, and emotional trauma. The law allows them to seek compensation when negligence is to blame. Maryland premises liability attorneys know how to uncover the truth. We investigate what happened, why it happened, and whether the danger was known. We speak with witnesses, review records, and build strong cases that hold property owners accountable. We don’t let them hide behind excuses or delay justice. When someone gets hurt because safety was ignored, we fight to make sure the damage is paid for and the story is told the right way.

Unsafe Conditions Should Never Be Ignored
A business that leaves a spill unattended. A landlord who ignores complaints about broken stairs. A manager who fails to replace a flickering light in a dark hallway. These decisions—or lack of decisions—can lead to serious injuries. In Maryland, people have been hurt in places that should have been safe. The pain doesn’t stop at the scene. It follows victims into hospitals, disrupts their work, and affects their families. Maryland premises liability attorneys know how to hold property owners accountable when they fail to act. We investigate the conditions, gather evidence, and build strong cases that show how the injury could have been prevented. We don’t let excuses stand in the way of justice. When someone gets hurt because safety was ignored, we fight to make sure the damage is paid for and the truth is exposed.
Maryland Premises Liability FAQs
Q. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
A. You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Many states follow comparative fault rules, which means your compensation could be reduced based on your share of the blame. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you might still recover 80% of your damages. The key is showing that the property owner’s negligence played a major role. Even if you made a mistake, that doesn’t erase their responsibility.
Q. Can I file a claim if the hazard was obvious?
A. It depends. Property owners may argue that an obvious hazard should have been avoided, but that doesn’t always protect them from liability. If the condition was still dangerous and the owner failed to fix it or warn others, they may still be held accountable. Courts look at whether the owner acted reasonably. Just because something is visible doesn’t mean it’s safe. Injuries caused by known hazards can still lead to valid claims.
Q. What should I do after getting injured on someone else’s property?
A. Start by seeking medical attention. Your health comes first, and medical records will help document the injury. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and ask for a written report. Take photos of the hazard and your injuries. If there were witnesses, get their contact information. Avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. These steps help preserve evidence and protect your ability to file a claim.
