Accident Attorney for Slip and Fall Cases

If you slip and fall on someone else’s property, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. Every property owner has a legal responsibility to maintain safe and secure property conditions at all times. Unfortunately, many property owners do not employ reasonable care in maintaining their properties. For example, sometimes a property owner is aware of a dangerous condition on the property, but fails to take any action to repair the condition. Or, the property owner should have been aware of and should have taken the necessary action to repair the dangerous condition, but failed to take any action.

When a property owner fails to employ reasonable care in maintaining a property, visitors, guests or patrons can be exposed to dangerous conditions. These dangerous conditions can cause serious accidents and significant injuries. You may be able to recover compensation for your medical costs and expenses, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, psychological distress, lost wages, financial hardship and other expenses suffered in a slip and fall accident.
