Connecticut Slip and Fall Attorney

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, you may have suffered serious injuries. You have immediate concerns. You have rights too. Whether you were injured on the property of an individual, business, or the public, at the New Haven law office of Williams & Barber, we can help protect your rights.

Common Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. Every business has the responsibility to provide a safe and accessible environment for its customers. It is their job to maintain all aspects of their grounds appropriately, but there are still certain types of slip and fall accidents that are more common than others. We protect the rights of our clients in a range of slip and fall accidents:

• Elevator Accident: Elevator malfunctions are more common than you might expect, and even a simple case of mis-leveling could be the cause of a serious injury.
• Escalator Accident: As with elevators, it is commonly believed that escalator accidents are the fault of the person injured. However, if you were injured in an escalator accident, it could be the result of a malfunction or even improper warnings of hazardous conditions.
• Tenant Injuries: Your landlord has an obligation to provide you with a safe living environment, from proper lighting to properly maintained sidewalks and parking lots. When they fail to do so, we go to work to protect the right of the injured tenants.

Common Places for Slip and Fall Accidents

Certain retail environments are more prone to slip and fall accidents than others. While the exact injuries may be similar, the causes of these accidents can differ quite a bit. For example, home maintenance stores have many products placed on high shelves, while bars and restaurants are prone to slippery surfaces. We protect the rights of our clients, injured in a variety of locations:

• Department Stores
• Grocery Stores
• Bars and Restaurants
• Hardware Stores
• Strip Malls
