SLIP, TRIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS.
OUR LAW FIRM TAKES EVERY CASE SERIOUSLY
Accidents involving slips, trips and falls – usually called “slip and fall” or “trip and fall” accidents in the legal community – fall under the general category of premises liability. While most falls may seem like accidents due to inattention by those walking, many of these accidents are from dangerous conditions of walkways, sidewalks, stairwells, or ramps on premises that were caused by either poor construction, neglect by owners, or careless actions of those responsible to maintain the area. These neglected conditions can often lead to significant injuries, including broken bones, displaced or herniated discs, and other damage to peoples back´s, neck´s, spine´s, or extremities.
Even more minor injuries, such as sprains or strains, can end up becoming worse or more serious over time, and impact your ability to work and care for your family. Elderly or disabled people and children particularly are vulnerable to being hurt by slip or trip and fall accidents.
If you’ve been hurt due to the neglect of either a government entity, a premises owner, or maintenance company who failed to make their premises safe, then you should contact our offices for a free consultation immediately.
