Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Premises liability cases are those personal injuries which are a result of unsafe conditions or negligent maintenance on property not owned by the victim. Slip and fall accidents are common and the injuries that result can be very serious. The injured victim often is subjected to physical pain or impairment, lost wages, and emotional stress.

It is the responsibility of the victim to demonstrate that the damage suffered and injuries sustained were due to the negligence of the property owner. When the injuries suffered are severe, dealing with insurance claims and researching victim rights can exacerbate an already stressful situation. Because premises liability law can be complex, it is important for victims to seek legal counsel.

Common types of premises liability cases include:
• Unlit or defective staircases
• Slip and fall
• Sidewalk cases
• Deck design and construction
• Elevator/escalator malfunctions
