Injured in a Slip and Fall? You Have Rights

If you have been injured due to a hazardous condition on someone else's property, you have rights.

Premises liability laws allow injured parties to sue property owners for compensation, if the property owners' negligence was the cause of their injuries. Slip and fall premises liability cases frequently involve:

• Falls down the stairs: Was a stairwell poorly lit? Was there a handrail? Were stairs broken or defective? Was there torn carpet covering the stairs?
• Falls in parking lots or sidewalks: Were adequate measures taken for snow and ice removal? Was a parking lot full of potholes? Was there uneven pavement?
• Falls on wet or slippery floors: Were freshly cleaned floors marked with wet floor signs? Was the floor over-waxed?
• Slip or trip and falls on debris: Was produce spilled on the floor at the grocery store? Were spills promptly taken care of at commercial establishments? Were exposed wires or cords in the natural path of consumers or visitors?

We investigate issues such as the frequency in which grocery stores have cleaning crews check the aisles to keep obstacles out of the path of consumers, other occurrences of slippery floors in a retail store, the procedures commercial establishments have in place for de-icing parking lots and walkways, the complaints residential landlords have received regarding stairwell maintenance, and more. We handle most slip and fall cases on a contingency basis, meaning we do not charge attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Our law firm uses our case preparation and negotiation skills to establish clear liability and maximize the financial recovery for our injured client.
