Slip and Fall
Slip and fall injuries occur when a dangerous, unsafe or hazardous condition causes a person to slip or trip or fall while on another’s property. Incidents also can occur outside or inside of a business or a residence. Slip and fall hazards can include slippery substances on flooring, poor lighting in a parking lot, stair railings in poor condition or changes in flooring that cause instability. If the property owners knew or should have known about the dangerous, unsafe or hazardous condition, then they may be liable for your injuries.
Proving liability in slip and fall cases can be challenging. Preservation of evidence is crucial. Photographs should be taken immediately, especially if your injury involves a fall. Shoes and clothes should be stored. It is important for slip and fall victims to consult with experienced legal counsel.
