Personal Injury Law

Faye Hall, a 40-year-old Memphis resident, was critically injured leaving Denny's after breakfast this past Sunday. As she was exiting the building, a large sign detached from the side of the building, causing the 2 story wall to which it was attached to collapse. Hall was buried underneath the debris.

When Hall was rescued from under the rubble, she was conscious but in critical condition. She was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention. Surgery was performed on her that afternoon. She currently remains in critical condition.

Police officers have blocked off the adjacent streets while they try to figure out if the rest of the building is safe. Investigators currently do not know what caused the building's tragic collapse.

Property owners, including business proprietors, have an obligation to maintain safe conditions for guests on their property. When a property owner fails to take the steps to ensure a safe environment, he is guilty of premises liability and may be responsible for compensating you for any injuries you sustain.

It is important to consult an experienced premises liability lawyer immediately following your accident. These cases are often time sensitive, and your attorney will need to gather evidence from the accident scene before the unsafe conditions are altered by the property owner.
