Slip and Fall Accident

Protecting Your Rights.  Protecting You.

Few things are more shocking than being injured while out running errands or walking to work, but thousands of people are hurt in slip and fall accidents every year – some very seriously.  Something as simple as a slippery floor, a loose sidewalk heating grate or a poorly repaired step can mean temporary or permanent disability, a traumatic head injury, or even damage to the spinal cord.  Worst of all, insurance companies don’t always fairly compensate slip and fall victims for their injuries, wrongfully blaming the victim for their own injuries.  Sometimes victims need help proving that the property owner should have done more to prevent the injury.

How Can a Slip and Fall Attorney Help You?

If you have been seriously injured in a slip and fall accident on somebody else’s property, then you may be wondering whether or not you need an attorney.  Since most attorneys will happily discuss your case with you for no cost and no obligation, it is in your best interest to speak with a lawyer and find out if they can indeed help you.  What you need is an experienced attorney who can carefully investigate your case by finding out:
• How the dangerous condition that contributed to your accident was created and how long it had been there;
• Whether or not the property owner was aware of the condition;
• If similar accidents have occurred;
• If any regulations, codes, laws, or commonly observed safety standards or practices were violated by the property owner.

As a result of the injuries you’ve suffered, you may be able to receive a settlement to compensate you for your medical expenses, any income you may have lost (or may lose in the future), your pain and suffering, or any disability or disfigurement that you may have experienced.

The bottom line is that you should be able to move about safely on somebody else’s property without fear of accident or injury.  Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe, and they deserve to be held accountable if they fail to do so.
