Lawyer that Can Sue for Injuries on Catholic Church Property

Catholicism is among the religions with most followers, who visit church property pretty often. Most members of the religion typically only visit church property once a week – which is normally for mass on Sundays. In addition to weekly mass, the church also welcomes guests for special events, like wedding receptions, christenings, and baptism ceremonies.

Like any other property, church property can unfortunately represent a danger to guests. There are many different incidents that occur on the premises of church property. Regardless of the type of incident tat you suffered, you could potentially suffer a number of injuries, some of which could result in permanent harm or even fatal injuries.

Possible Accidents on Church Property

Some of the accidents that could occur on the premises of Catholic churches include the following:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Trip and fall accidents
• Falling object accidents
• Parking lot accidents
• Assault and battery incidents

Slip and fall accidents, specifically, are among the most common types of personal injury accidents. These injuries can occur any time that a slip hazard is present, which could include wet floors, slippery surfaces, spills, leaks, etc. Bathroom slip and falls during wedding receptions and christenings, for instance, are common. Because of the nature of the ceremonies, baptism ceremonies on church property resulting in falls are also common.

Trip and fall accidents are also among the most common types of church accidents. Broken tiles, uneven flooring, torn carpeting, and other trip hazards could quickly lead to trip and fall accidents on church property during mass services, baptisms, etc.

Falling object accidents occur whenever objects that are on the ceiling or wall, for instance, are either installed incorrectly or not maintained properly. Common types of falling object incidents include ceiling fans and light fixtures detaching and falling. It is also common for shelving units to collapse and strike anyone nearby.

Parking lot accidents can occur due to a number of hazards, including a lack of security, a lack of speed limit signs, a lack of speed bumps, poor lighting, potholes, exposed rebar, etc. Accidents on parking lot can lead to a number of parking lot injuries.

Assault and battery on church property, unfortunately, is also a common incident. Whether you were attacked by someone employed by the church or by another guest on church property, the incident could be attributed to the Catholic church’s failure to keep the church property safe.

What are My Rights? – Can I Sue

What are your rights if you were injured on the premises of a church? Well, if your accident and your injuries can be proven to be a direct result of the negligence of the church management, for instance, then you could have the right to sue for the harm that you suffered. Who do I sue? You could sue the church.

Like any other property, there is a duty of care that is owed to guests. The entire premises must be routinely inspected to ensure that any potential hazards are identified and addressed before an incident occurs – this is essentially a way to address any foreseeable incidents (like slipping on a wet floor, for example). Essentially, if your injuries were caused by dangerous conditions on the church property that the church and their management either knew about or should’ve known about (and still failed to take any action), then the church could be liable – and could be sued.
