Slip / Trip & Fall Injuries

These are the most common types of premises liability cases. They often cause serious orthopedic type injuries. The cause of the injury is often a result of poor design, improperly maintained flooring, wet floors and spills, inadequate lighting, lack of handrails etc.

Property owners have a duty to make sure their premises are safe. It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible so that the dangerous condition can be inspected by an expert before it is altered. In cases regarding spills, wet floors, etc., make sure YOU document it at the scene (with photos, if possible).

To succeed in these cases, there is a requirement that the at fault party had notice of the dangerous condition. This can be done by proving actual or constructive notice.

The causes for most slip/trip and fall injuries are often a result of poor design, improperly maintained flooring, wet floors and spills, inadequate lighting, lack of handrails etc.
