SLIP AND FALL Accident Attorneys
Slip and fall accident is a general term used to refer to various personal injury claims that occur when someone slips or falls on someone's property due to a dangerous situation. It is an accident that can happen anywhere, whether it's at your workplace, at home, at a colleague's house, in your neighborhood, at a concert, or even at your place of worship. Slipping can cause severe injury and sometimes permanent injury, especially to children and the elderly.
These accidents often leave you with long-term damages that are challenging for both the victims and custodians. If you know of a person who suffers from a slip and fall accident, it will be of big help for them to have a personal injury lawyer by their side. However, who will be held accountable for these accidents? This falls under the responsibility of the property owner. The owner is required to secure the safety of any individual who will happen to enter their premises. They should take reasonable measures to ensure that they have accomplished this.
Types of Slip and Fall Accident Cases Our Personal Injury Lawyers Handle
An excellent personal injury lawyer knows how to handle different types of accidents. In slip and fall accident cases, the claim's focus is pointed out directly towards the property owner; this is under the premises liability law. If poor property maintenance causes the incident, the property owner or manager has failed to meet their legal obligation to provide a reasonably safe space.
The 1800 Accident lawyers are experienced litigators who deal with different types of slip and fall accidents, including:
- Indoor slip and fall injuries;
- Outdoor slip and fall injuries;
- Slips and falls in supermarkets;
- Slips and falls that occur on sidewalks and walkways;
- Slips and falls at marinas;
- Slips and falls on boats;
- Slips and falls in apartment complexes;
- Slips and falls caused by rain, snow, or sleet;
- Slips and falls that occur on tile, carpet, concrete, or linoleum;
- Slips and falls due to inadequate lighting or lack of handrails; and
- Slips and falls on elevators or escalators.
If the property owner is proven guilty of negligence, we will impose your right to demand a claim for the damages it caused you. The first thing to consider is whether the property owner caused a safety hazard, knew about it, but neglected to take any action or should have known. If the answer is "yes", you have a valid liability case.
The Personal Injury Lawyer will gather the necessary evidence to support the claim of the case, including the following:
- Witness Testimony
- Photos of the week and dangerous condition of the building or property
- Surveillance video clips of the actual accident
- Records of previous slips and falls accidents on the same property
- Maintenance records and licensing documents (for commercial property)
- Police reports on the incident
It is the property owner's duty and responsibility to care for those who will be using, entering, or visiting their private premises or properties unless it is forced to be used by an intruder or a culprit. Evidently, they are accountable for whatever happens inside or outside the property within a specific range. It is like looking after your children. If a kid makes mistakes towards another kid, the parent is called for and held responsible for their child's behavior. It is the same as owning a property. If you are the one who suffers from an injury or a family member, it would be hard for you to deal with all the legalities and arrangements without the proper knowledge. The property owner might influence you and come up with a proposal arrangement favorable for them. We will not allow this to happen. Let our team handle this matter for you.
