Slip and fall accidents, also known as premises liability claims, are one of the most common causes of serious injury, resulting from dangerous property conditions that could have been prevented. Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment and to warn visitors of any known hazards.
When that duty is neglected and you are injured on their residential or commercial property, you have a right to seek compensation for your losses. Our firm has extensive experience holding negligent property owners accountable, ensuring you receive the necessary financial recovery.
Common Hazards Leading to Premises Liability Claims
- Wet, slippery floors in stores, grocery aisles, or entryways without warning signs.
- Uneven pavement, cracked sidewalks, or potholes in parking lots.
- Accumulation of snow or ice that was not properly cleared.
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways that obscures tripping hazards.
- Broken or missing handrails on staircases and steps.
- Dangerous debris or clutter left in walkways and aisles.
Building a Successful Premises Liability Case
- Promptly investigating the scene to gather photographs and secure evidence before it is destroyed or repaired.
- Identifying if the owner had “actual” or “constructive” knowledge of the dangerous condition.
- Obtaining maintenance logs, internal inspection reports, and employee training records.
- Establishing the full extent of your injuries, including common hip fractures, back injuries, and TBI.
- Fighting aggressively against insurance adjusters who attempt to place blame on the victim.
