Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
“Slip and Fall” or premises liability injuries can range from broken bones to more serious injuries like head injuries or spinal cord injuries.
These types of injuries commonly occur from uneven or slippery surfaces, but other common causes include:
- Crumbling staircases
- Wet floors
- Loose carpeting or handrails
- Unsafe conditions like exposed electrical wiring
- Raised flooring
- Falling debris
- Obstructed pathways
- Poor lighting on walkways
Premises liability law seeks to protect parties who are injured as a result of the property owner’s negligence. It is often difficult to prove liability especially if the owner has corrected the hazardous condition. To ensure that the proper grounds for your accident claim are met, you should contact our knowledgeable premises liability and slip and fall attorneys who have the resources and experience necessary to help you collect maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and even wrongful death.
Our Premises Liability and Slip & Fall lawyers
Our personal injury law firm can assess your injury and assist you in determining whether the property owner failed to maintain their property or properly warn of hazardous conditions. For your slip, trip, and fall claim to be successful, it must be shown that the property owner knew about the hazardous situation and failed to correct it in a timely manner and that the action or inaction of the property owner caused the condition that led to your injury.
Once liability has been established, our personal injury attorneys will work with you to prove a direct causal relationship between the hazard on the property and the injury that you suffered. A myriad of other factors including visitor status and private property issues must also be considered when filing a premises liability claim. Visitor status explains your reason for the visit to the property. If you are a guest your injury claim may hold more weight in court, whereas a trespasser may not be able to receive any compensation for their injuries.
Our legal representation considers all of these factors. Our slip and fall accident attorneys will represent you aggressively throughout your personal injury case so you can take care of what is most important: recovering from your injury. We guide accident victims throughout their slip and fall accident cases to help them find medical attention, regain their health, and deal with insurance companies and medical bills.
