In 1805, war hero John Hunt founded the town of Huntsville in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. During the economic boom and population surge of the early 1950s, the U.S. Army established a missile development program in the area, and over a few short decades, the program transformed Huntsville into the vibrant aerospace and defense research hub it is today. Huntsville aerospace engineers designed the rocket that launched the first American satellite into space, developed the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo moon missions, and took on a key role in the U.S. space program of the 1960s.
Between its natural scenic beauty and exciting city center, Huntsville has something for everyone, from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and Huntsville Museum of Art to the Monte Sano State Park. Many of the buildings in the downtown area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Huntsville Depot and the Harrison Brothers Hardware store. Today, engineers and young professionals of all kinds travel to "Rocket City" for its thriving aerospace industry, top-notch educational institutions, and fascinating history. However, the city’s rapid industrial and population growth has only increased the number of premises liability incidents experienced by residents and visitors alike. When property owners neglect their legal duty to maintain safe premises, visiting businesses and attractions can grow hazardous.
Our skilled attorneys have handled premises liability accidents in grocery stores, workplaces, and countless poorly-maintained Huntsville properties. We've seen how insurance companies prioritize profits over people, shifting blame and denying personal injury claims. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you deserve fair treatment. Our attorneys are dedicated to representing premises liability accident victims, and we intend to improve your odds of success in a civil suit. With decades of experience behind them, our premises liability attorneys will ensure you obtain the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Defining Premises Liability
Premises liability is defined as a property owner’s legal responsibility for the safety of their premises. When a property owner breaches this "duty of care" to visitors, disaster - in the form of sprains, broken bones, or TBIs - can result. Premises liability accidents are surprisingly common. Our premises liability attorneys handle accidents, injuries, and deaths every year that could have been prevented by regular maintenance or even a "wet floor" sign. In Alabama, the injured defendants of property accidents have the right to launch a civil claim against property owners in pursuit of financial compensation. These accidents often lead to overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and slashed future earning potentials. You deserve to have the compensation you need to recover, and our job is to make sure you receive it.

In a premises liability case, an attorney who is well-versed in the nuances of property and personal injury law can be an invaluable resource. While the property owner and insurance companies protect themselves, our Huntsville premises liability lawyers will gather evidence, communicate with various parties, and work with you to build a convincing case for compensation.
Because our attorneys understand the emotional and physical challenges that come with pursuing legal action after an injury, they specialize in open, compassionate communication. At Wettermark Keith, we prioritize forming strong relationships with our clients, and our only goal is to help you recover.

We consider ourselves trial lawyers, meaning that if you’re offered a settlement amount that is less than you deserve, we will represent your interests in front of a judge and jury.
What Personal Injury Liability Cases Do We Take?
Premises liability covers a wide range of situations, and each requires an experienced attorney with a unique legal approach. Our premises liability lawyers have experience assisting clients with a wide variety of accident types, including:

Your Visitor Status May Impact Your Case
It’s important to understand the circumstances surrounding your case before pursuing compensation. When your accident occurred, you were either an invitee, a licensee, or a trespasser. An invitee has an express or implied invitation to enter. Landowners owe invitees a duty of care to inspect the land for hazards, repair known defects and warn them of potential threats. A licensee also has the invitation to enter but does so for his or her own purposes, such as in the case of a contractor. Landowners owe the same duties of care to licensees as invitees, minus the duty to inspect for hidden hazards. Trespassers are not lawfully allowed on a property and don’t qualify for any duties of care.
While premises liability law can be complex, our lawyers are here to answer any questions you may have about your visitor status or any other information surrounding your case. Call a personal injury lawyer today at (877) 715-9300 for a free evaluation of your legal options.
