SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS Get the Compensation You Deserve

Have you suffered injuries as a result of a slip and fall accident that you believe should have been avoided? Have you suffered permanent injuries caused by someone else’s negligence? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Slip and Fall Hazards Slip and fall accidents are common, but it’s often difficult to prove liability in these cases. Generally, slip and fall injuries occur when a property owner fails to keep their property free from hidden hazards or dangerous conditions. Hidden hazards can be anything from a broken staircase to a puddle of water on a white tile floor. These issues can be easily avoided, but if they’re not, they can cause harm to others. Proving Negligence When considering negligence in a slip and fall case, one must consider if the owner of the property acted reasonably and sensibly. Property owners have a legal duty to make sure their property is safe and hazard- free. Consider the following:

• Reasonability of hazard: Did something reasonable create the hazard? • Appropriate actions: Did the owner act to fix the hazard? • Reasonable prevention: Could the owner have prevented the incident? If you were legally on the property and suffered a slip and fall because of hazardous conditions, you may have a case. Compensation Benefits A slip and fall can cause various injuries, most commonly to the neck and back, which can result in serious brain, hip, and orthopedic issues. If you have suffered injuries as a result of a slip and fall accident on another person’s property, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, and other damages. In order to maximize your

compensation, you need to consult an experienced slip and fall attorney.

• Length of time: Did the owner have plenty of time to recognize and resolve the hazard?
