Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors and customers, which includes regularly inspecting their premises, promptly addressing known hazards, and providing adequate warnings about potential dangers.
Slip and fall accidents can occur due to wet floors without warning signs, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, defective stairs or handrails, icy walkways, or debris left in walkways.
Our premises liability attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your fall, examining maintenance records, security footage, and witness statements to establish that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition that caused your injury.
Insurance companies and property owners often attempt to shift blame to the injured party, claiming they were distracted, wearing inappropriate footwear, or should have seen the hazard and avoided it.
We combat these defense strategies by documenting the scene immediately, photographing the hazardous condition, gathering witness testimony, and working with safety experts who can testify about proper maintenance standards and building codes.
Our experience with premises liability law allows us to effectively demonstrate that the property owner's negligence, not your actions, was the primary cause of your accident and resulting injuries.
Slip and fall injuries can range from minor bruises to severe fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and hip injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Many victims, particularly elderly individuals, experience long-term complications and may never fully recover their previous mobility and independence.
We pursue compensation for immediate medical expenses, ongoing therapy and treatment costs, lost wages during recovery, pain and suffering, and any permanent disability or disfigurement.
Our goal is to ensure you receive full compensation that accounts for both the immediate impact and long-term consequences of your premises liability injury.
