Who Is Liable?
A variety of individuals or entities may be held liable for the injuries you suffered in a slip and fall. If a business rents space from a property owner, both the property owner and the business may have been negligent in preventing your injury. A management company also may be responsible for inadequate maintenance of a commercial property.
Our lawyers have handed numerous slip and fall cases and will put our extensive knowledge of personal injury law to work for you.
We can provide representation in cases involving:
- Failure to provide signs that a floor is being cleaned
- Failure to place barriers to close off an area with a wet or damp floor
- Torn carpeting
- Building code violations such as a lack of handrails
- Poor outdoor lighting
- Cracked sidewalks
- Un-sanded ice in a parking lot
- Hidden hazards such as potholes
Injuries can occur at people's homes as well. If you were hurt on a property you're renting, landlords may be held liable for not fixing broken stairs or neglecting other property issues.
Slip and fall cases can involve broken bones, brain injuries, and other serious injuries. Whatever injury you or your loved one may be facing, you can rely on us to fight for the compensation you need to go back to leading your life. We are committed to pursuing justice for injured people and holding negligent parties accountable.
Our lawyers have won six- and seven-figure settlements for clients, and we are dedicated to obtaining the best possible outcome for you. You will not be charged unless we recover compensation for you.
