Slip and Fall

"Slip and fall" injuries can be truly devastating to the well-being and earning potential of the injured person. These types of falls are very common, but surprising nonetheless to the victim. One moment you were walking down a flight of stairs or crossing a room, and the next you were on the floor with a cut, a broken bone, or worse. Our firm will help you determine if you can sue the owner of the property for the harm you have suffered.

If you were injured in an accident at someone else's home or place of business, and you believe their actions led to your injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit that will help you recover lost earnings, and will compensate you for medical bills, pain, emotional suffering, disfigurement, or physical disabilities resulting from the injury.

As a plaintiff in a "slip and fall" case, you will have to show that the owner of the property where the accident occurred was liable for the injury. This means the owner either created the hazardous condition that caused your injury, failed to properly maintain the premises, or knew about the dangerous condition but failed to warn visitors or tenants. Another important factor is whether the hazardous condition was temporary or permanent. For instance, if the hazard which led to your injury was a temporary condition, the length of time it existed may affect your ability to successfully prove your case.
