Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip-and-fall accidents and trip-and-fall accidents can result from worn, torn, slippery, wet, broken, uneven, poorly lit, unlit or otherwise dangerous surfaces, walkways, paths, stairs, stairwells, parking lots and other areas where people walk. When this type of accident happens, it is common for the property owner or the owner’s insurance company to claim that the victim’s own actions were the real cause of the injury. For example, the insurance company might claim that the fall happened because the victim’s shoes were untied or broken.
Because property owners and insurance companies are notorious for denying premises liability claims, it is crucial that you get an experienced slip-and-fall accident lawyer involved as soon as possible. Evidence in premises liability cases is time-sensitive, so you should act now to start protecting your right to compensation.
