Slip and Fall Accidents

Sometimes property owners, stores and other businesses operate and maintain their premises in a careless and neglectful manner.  Property owners are legally responsible to ensure that their property is reasonably safe for those who have a right to enter it. When they fail to do this, people can suffer real harm.

If you, a loved one or a friend fell and suffered injuries due to neglect, please call us right away. We will listen carefully to your experience and help you become informed about whether there is a case and your right to receive medical treatment, your right to disability benefits, if you are disabled from work, and your right to compensation for your pain and suffering.

The location of a fall is very important and your rights may be different depending upon where your fall occurs. If you are injured due to a dangerous condition of property and you are able to do so, photograph it or have someone else do it until an investigation can begin. In cases involving falls on snow or ice, where the conditions can change rapidly due to change in temperature or precipitation, it is imperative to take pictures immediately before the condition can change. Additionally, if you receive help from a kind stranger, please obtain their name and contact information

Here are some examples of the types of cases we have handled where our clients have suffered injuries:

• Uneven sidewalks
• Pot holes
• Parking lot holes and defective conditions
• Icy sidewalks and parking lots
• Poorly lit premises
• Failure to clean up spills
• Leaking refrigeration equipment
• Defective steps

Finally, we can handle your case on a “contingency fee” basis, which means that you do not pay a legal fee unless we obtain a settlement or a jury verdict.
