Slips & Falls

Slips and falls accidents usually occur on property (or "premises") owned or maintained by someone else, and the owner or possessor of the property may be held legally responsible. Slips and falls are also known as premise liability. Dangerous conditions such as poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet floor can cause someone to slip and hurt him or herself inside a building. Other instances of slip and fall incidents can occur when people trip on broken or cracked public sidewalks, or trip and fall on stairs or escalators. A slip and fall case can also arise when someone slips or trips and falls because of rain, ice, snow or a hidden hazard, such as a pothole in the ground. People are injured and killed every day as a result of dangerous conditions in buildings or other manmade hazards. We have handled many types of dangerous premises cases.
