Slip and Fall Lawyers

It is your legal right to be safe in a public place. That means the owner of any business, property, or public place is responsible for keeping you from getting hurt on their premises. For example, suppose a business owner or property manager fails to appropriately maintain their property, including public walkways. In that case, the resulting hazards can cause you to slip and fall, possibly leading to severe injury and irreparable harm.

You may not understand the possible severity of a slip-and-fall accident until it happens to you. However, there are many detrimental and potentially life-changing consequences of a slip-and fall-accident, including:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Broken bones
  • Temporary or permanent disability

In fact, more than a quarter of all traumatic brain injuries (28%) result from falls, even more than car accidents. A slightly smaller percentage of spinal cord injuries are caused by falls (22%), but in people over age 65, spinal cord injuries are most often caused by falls. This is often a consequence of nursing home neglect.

Slip-and-fall lawsuits are considered a category of premises liability because it is a property owner’s responsibility to ensure that their property is safe for all visitors. If you suffered a serious personal injury due to a slip-and-fall that could have been prevented by appropriate maintenance, you might be eligible for compensation.

You may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost wages and diminished earning ability
  • Physical therapy and occupational training
  • Pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life
  • The amount and type of compensation you may receive will depend on your circumstances.
