When you are struck by a car, there is a good chance that you will be able to recover damages based on the driver’s negligence. What happens, though, when you are injured from a natural disaster? Though many assume that weather-related injuries and injuries resulting from other natural phenomenon cannot lead to a valid claim for compensation, the opposite is actually true.
Property owners are not liable for natural disasters. They are, however, liable for unsafe conditions on their property. If property conditions are not addressed after an incident, if safety precautions are not put into place prior to a disaster, or if owner negligence caused a disaster, injury victims may have a valid claim.
