Property owners have a duty to keep their property in a safe condition, inspect the property regularly for problems and to warn visitors until the problem can be fixed. These duties form the basis of premises liability. The property owner is responsible for damages if you slip and fall because the property owner failed to uphold these premises liability duties.
The Podor Law Firm can help you recover from the negligent store, office, gym, sports arena or other company where you had a slip and fall accident. Particularly in slip and fall cases, immediate investigation is crucial. Otherwise, the company has an opportunity to clean up the danger, and thereby, permanently destroy importance evidence. So that you can start on your case right away, our attorneys are available 24/7 to talk to you.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Many different conditions can lead to a slip and fall accident. Some of the most common causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors without proper warning signs
- Uneven walking surfaces
- Loose or damaged flooring, carpeting, or mats
- Poor lighting that obscures hazards
- Exposed cables or wires across walkways
- Missing or broken handrails on stairs
- Potholes or cracks in parking lots or sidewalks
- Snow or ice accumulation that hasn't been properly cleared
- Spilled liquids or food in stores or restaurants
- Debris or obstacles in walkways
Types of Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to severe, life-altering trauma:
- Fractures, especially of wrists, arms, ankles, and hips
- Sprains and strains
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Shoulder dislocations or injuries
- Knee damage
- Cuts and bruises
- Neck injuries
For older adults, slip and fall accidents can be particularly dangerous. According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults aged 65 and older, and 1 in 5 falls causes a serious injury such as a broken bone or head injury.
Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case
To successfully recover compensation in a slip and fall case, we must establish that the property owner was negligent. This typically involves proving:
- The property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition
- The property owner failed to fix the condition or provide adequate warning
- The dangerous condition directly caused your injuries
- You suffered actual damages as a result
Our experienced attorneys know how to investigate slip and fall accidents to gather the necessary evidence, including:
- Surveillance footage
- Maintenance and cleaning records
- Prior incident reports
- Witness statements
- Expert testimony
- Photographs of the accident scene and your injuries
Time is Critical in Slip and Fall Cases
As we mentioned earlier, immediate investigation is crucial in slip and fall cases. Here's why time is of the essence:
- Evidence can be quickly removed or altered
- Surveillance footage may be deleted or recorded over
- Witnesses' memories fade over time
- The dangerous condition may be repaired
- There are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing claims
That's why our attorneys are available 24/7 to begin working on your case immediately after your accident. Don't delay in seeking legal representation—it could significantly impact your ability to recover compensation.
Compensation Available in Slip and Fall Cases
If you've been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Emotional distress
