Premises Liability Accidents Lawyer in Preston, CT

When someone visits a store, restaurant, or private property, they expect it to be safe. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Every year, people in Connecticut are seriously injured because property owners fail to maintain their spaces responsibly.


As a Premises Liability Accidents Lawyer in Preston, CT, I represent individuals who have been hurt because of unsafe property conditions, whether that means a slippery floor, poor lighting, or a broken stairway that should have been fixed long ago.



At Santoro Injury Law, LLC, I believe that property owners and managers must be held accountable when their negligence leads to someone else’s pain. Premises liability law exists to protect you when an accident wasn’t your fault. Whether your injuries happened in a grocery store, apartment complex, or workplace, you have rights, a nd it’s my job to protect them. I take pride in offering clear, honest guidance from the very first conversation, helping clients understand whether they have a valid claim and what steps we can take to pursue justice.


What sets my approach apart is the personal attention I give to every case. When you work with me, you’re not dealing with layers of staff or distant paralegals; you’re speaking directly to the attorney who will handle your case from start to finish. I take the time to listen to your story, review evidence carefully, and create a strategy that gives you the strongest chance of recovery.

 Common Types of Premises Liability Accidents


Premises liability covers many types of accidents, but they all share one thing in common: someone’s failure to keep a property safe. I’ve seen a wide variety of cases in my years of practice, including:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Often caused by wet floors, icy walkways, or loose tiles. These incidents can lead to broken bones, back injuries, and head trauma.

  • Trip and Fall Hazards: Poor lighting, uneven pavement, or cluttered walkways often result in serious falls.

  • Negligent Security: When property owners fail to provide basic security, like locks, lighting, or cameras, victims can suffer from preventable assaults or theft.

  • Dog Bites: Pet owners have a duty to control their animals. If a dog attacks someone on private property, the owner may be legally responsible.

  • Unsafe Rental Conditions: Landlords who ignore repairs or hazards such as mold, broken steps, or exposed wiring may be liable for resulting injuries.

Each case requires a detailed investigation. I personally oversee the evidence collection process, reviewing incident reports, photographs, witness statements, and property maintenance records. My focus is on uncovering the truth and ensuring you get full and fair compensation for your injuries.




My Approach at Santoro Injury Law, LLC

At Santoro Injury Law, I operate a small, dedicated practice that emphasizes quality over quantity. I take on a limited number of cases to ensure that every client gets my full attention. While I have a small team to help with administrative and research tasks, you’ll work directly with me through every stage of your case.


The first step is always understanding what happened and how it’s affected your life. I start with a personal consultation where we discuss the details of your accident, review medical documentation, and determine liability. From there, I evaluate your claim, gather supporting evidence, and handle all communication with the insurance companies on your behalf. My goal is simple:  to take the stress off your shoulders so you can focus on recovery while I focus on results.


Unlike large law firms, where clients can feel lost in the shuffle, I’m personally involved in every aspect of your case, from negotiation to trial if necessary. I’m not just your lawyer; I’m your advocate, your guide, and your voice in a process that can often feel intimidating.

 Types of Compensation You Can Recover

Victims of unsafe property conditions often face mounting medical bills, missed work, and long-term health challenges. Through a premises liability claim, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: Hospital visits, physical therapy, and future treatment.

  • Lost Wages: Income lost due to time off work and reduced earning ability.

  • Pain and Suffering: The emotional and physical toll of your injuries.

  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for personal belongings that were damaged in the accident.

  • Punitive Damages: In cases of severe or reckless negligence, additional damages may apply.

When I calculate the value of a claim, I look beyond immediate costs. I want to make sure the settlement reflects the long-term impact of your injuries, physically, emotionally, and financially.
