Slip & Fall Accident Attorneys

Don’t Stay Silent After a Fall—Let Us Help!

A business or property owner that welcomes the public onto his or her property has a duty to keep that area reasonably safe for visitors. Every year, however, thousands of people are injured because a business owner failed to take the precautions necessary to maintain safe conditions. Un-marked wet, slippery floors, defective railing, uneven flooring, and other hazards commonly cause people to slip or fall resulting in personal injury.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall at a business or other property, you may have cause to be compensated for your injuries.

Where Do Slip & Fall Accidents Occur?

Slip and fall injuries can occur both in and outdoors. Property managers are responsible for maintaining the area outside their building, including taking reasonable precautions avoid slipping in inclement weather. No matter where your fall happened on someone’s property, they may be liable for damages.

Causes of slip and fall injuries include:

• Wet floors
• Construction work
• Crosswalks
• Potholes
• Defective footwear
• Inadequate lighting in twisty and/or bumpy areas

Can I Sue if I Fall on Someone’s Property

Once you have established information on who manages and/or owns the property, you must show that an act of negligence took place. It will need to be proven that you, as the victim, suffered injuries and therefore damages due to this negligence. For instance, a claim must be made that your injuries were the result of something like the following:

• The defendant did not properly maintain their property

• As a result, you slipped and fell

• This slip and fall led to injuries

Slip and fall or trip and fall cases can be difficult to prove. This is because although property owners are required to keep their premises safe, visitors are also expected to be aware of their surroundings. There are elements that can complicate your case such as whether you were viewing your phone when the fall occurred or the type of footwear you were wearing.
