Common Slip and Fall Accidents

All places of business have the responsibility to provide a safe environment for their employees, patrons, and clients. If the negligent actions of a business or individual have led to your injuries, we can help you protect your rights and get the medical compensation you deserve. We provide counsel for clients injured in a variety of cases:

• Slippery Surfaces: Whether the conditions that led to your injury are the result of bad weather or poor maintenance, a slippery surface is a serious potential danger.
• Uneven Surfaces: From sidewalks and parking lots, to stair cases and elevators, all uneven surfaces should be adequately marked, so that people don't trip and injure themselves.
• Elevator Accident: Many people are injured every year in elevator accidents. When we get in an elevator, we expect it to be maintained properly. When not cared for properly, elevators can be very dangerous.
• Escalator Accident: We ride escalators all the time without a second thought, but sometimes dangerous conditions can lead to a serious injury. If you were injured on an escalator, it may be a case of premises liability.
• Tenant Injuries: Your landlord has a responsibility to maintain the space in which you live. If they fail to take care of broken stairs, railings, or doors, or they fail to provide adequate lighting, you may be seriously injured as a result.
• Icy or Crumbling Steps: One of the most common places for slip and fall accidents is on icy or crumbling steps. Both weather and time can wear down stairs, but it is the owner's responsibility to maintain them. Slip and Fall Accidents Can Happen Anywhere

You could be injured in a slip and fall accident any place and at any time, doing serious damage to your extremities and back. Whether you have slipped on a spill at a restaurant or tripped on an uneven sidewalk, property owners who fail to maintain a safe environment can often be held liable. Retail establishments and city streets are some of the most common areas for slip and fall accidents, and we can protect your rights when you have been injured in any of the following places:

• Bars
• Department Stores
