Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Slips and fall accidents can cause serious injury. They lead to thousands of emergency room visits every year and result in a wide variety of injuries, including broken bones (often broken hips, arms, and shoulders), severe bruising, back injuries, head injuries, and even death.

Slip and fall accidents are most commonly caused by:

• Cracked, uneven, or broken pavement or sidewalk

• Tattered or torn carpets

• Wet or slippery floors

• Broken stairs or steps

• Compromised or broken handrails

• Poor lighting and inappropriately dark conditions

• Snow or ice

• Exposed holes

• Crowded or blocked walkways

• Falling objects or merchandise in stores

All property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their property is is free from unreasonable hazards. As injury attorneys, our role is to demonstrate that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the unsafe or hazardous condition, and failed to repair or fix the condition in a reasonable amount of time.
