When a property owner creates or knows about a dangerous condition and fails to correct it and/or fails to warn the person who gets injured of the dangerous condition, the property owner is liable for injuries sustained by you as a result their negligence. An example of an injury a person or persons can be held liable for is a slip and fall injury, where an individual trips, slips, or falls as a result of a dangerous or negligent reason.

Who it Affects

Slip and fall injuries are one of the most common

types of personal injuries in America. There are over 1 million slip and fall injuries that occur every year in the United States and the average cost for these accidents range in the thousands. It very frequently occurs to professionals who are on the job, to children who are being supervised by a childcare service, and to the elderly who live in nursing homes. Regardless of who is injured, a slip and fall injury can send an individual to the hospital with broken bones, head trauma, fractures, and other serious medical conditions. If the individual falls from a tall height or hits their head, the trauma of the fall can be especially severe and may result in death. 

Unfortunately, not all property owners will want to admit fault and take responsibility for their negligence. It’s not uncommon for a property owner to try and redirect the blame for the slip and fall victim in order to evade being liable. When this happens, it is smart to have the right personal injury attorney on your side. Slip and fall injuries can result in major medical bills, loss of wages, and temporary or permanent physical harm to victims. A simple injury from a slip and  fall accident can have detrimental effects on

your livelihood, such as long-term physical damage that the patient may have to deal with for the rest of his or her life.

eligible for compensation, a personal injury lawsuit must establish that the slip and fall accident was the result of a negligent property owner or person.
