Watch This Before You Talk to Insurance
If you were injured on someone else’s property, the biggest mistake I see people make is talking to insurance too early or accepting an offer that’s way too low. Before you do anything—get clarity.
The Reality
Here’s What Most People Don’t Realize
After a premises liability incident, things move fast—and not in your favor.
Insurance companies and property owners:
- Look for ways to deny responsibility
- Claim the hazard wasn’t dangerous or “obvious”
- Use your own statements against you
- Try to settle quickly before you understand the full value of your case
I’ve seen strong cases fall apart because of what happened in the first few days. That’s why how you handle this now matters.

Case Updates
You’ll Never Be Left Wondering What’s Happening
One of the biggest frustrations people have with lawyers is simple—they can’t get updates.
I built this differently.
You can request a case update anytime directly from this site, and my team will respond by text or email.
No chasing. No silence.
What Most Lawyers Won’t Tell You
Not all premises liability cases are treated equally.
Some get pushed through fast.
Some get lowballed and settled early.
That’s not how I approach this.
I build every Premises Liability case with the expectation that it might need to go further—because that’s where real leverage comes from.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers When You Need Clarity Most.
First, take care of your health. Get medical attention right away, even if the injury seems minor. After that, start protecting your case.
Document everything you can:
- Photos of the hazard (wet floor, broken stairs, poor lighting, etc.)
- Your injuries and the surrounding area
- Incident reports (if available)
- Medical visits, diagnoses, and bills
- Notes about what happened while it’s still fresh
And one thing I always tell people—don’t rush into giving recorded statements to insurance companies. That’s where a lot of cases get weakened early.
The sooner you take the right steps, the better chance we have to protect your rights and build a strong claim.
My job is to take the pressure off you and build your case the right way from the start.
That means I’m not just “looking at paperwork.” I’m actively:
- Investigating what caused the unsafe condition
- Determining whether the property owner failed in their duty to maintain safety
- Gathering evidence like reports, photos, and witness statements
- Reviewing maintenance records or prior complaints
- Handling all communication with insurance companies
- Negotiating settlements—or preparing for trial if needed
At the Law Office of Zane Weeks, PLLC, I focus on holding property owners accountable and pushing for the strongest possible outcome.
Because property owners and insurance companies are not built to protect you—they’re built to avoid responsibility.
If you don’t have someone on your side, it’s easy to:
- Get blamed for your own injury
- Accept a low settlement too early
- Miss key evidence that proves negligence
- Get pressured into decisions that weaken your case
What I do is simple: I make sure your case is taken seriously, build leverage through preparation, and push for a result that actually reflects what you’ve been through.
Every state has a legal deadline called the statute of limitations. In most premises liability cases, you’re typically looking at about 1 to 3 years from the date of the injury—but it depends on the situation.
The problem isn’t just the deadline—it’s what happens before it:
- Evidence gets cleaned up or repaired
- Surveillance footage gets erased
- Witness memories fade
- Property owners strengthen their defense
That’s why waiting is risky. The earlier we get involved, the stronger we can build your case.
I work on a contingency fee basis.
That means:
- No upfront fees
- No hourly billing
- You only pay if we win or recover compensation for you
This keeps things simple and aligned. I only succeed when you do.
It also means you don’t have to worry about legal costs while dealing with medical bills or lost income. You focus on recovery—I handle the case.
Premises liability covers a wide range of situations where a property owner's negligence leads to injury. Common cases include:
- Slip and fall accidents on wet or uneven surfaces
- Inadequate lighting in parking lots, stairwells, or hallways
- Broken or defective stairs, railings, or flooring
- Swimming pool accidents due to lack of proper fencing or warnings
- Dog bites or animal attacks on someone's property
- Negligent security leading to assault or injury
- Falling objects or debris from poorly maintained structures
If you were injured on someone else's property — whether it's a store, apartment complex, restaurant, or private home — and the owner failed to maintain safe conditions, you may have a valid premises liability claim.
