Slip & Fall Injury

Slip and fall or trip and fall injury cases are legally called “Premises Liability.” Premises liability arises when someone suffers an unintentional injury due to the negligence of a land or business owner. A few examples of premises liability cases that we have handled include trip and fall and slip and fall injuries that occur on a sidewalk or in retail store. Premises liability does not always involve a trip and fall or slip and fall but can also occur when someone is injured at a restaurant or retail store and can include anything from a finger being pinched in a chair that was not put together properly to a store entrance or exit, or aisle, that is not kept reasonably safe and causes injury, such as by a product falling on a customer. 

The success of a premises liability case hinges on a variety of factors that must be carefully considered and investigated. The location of the accident, the legal status of the injured party (invitee, guest, licensee), and whether the at-fault party knew or should have known of the dangerous condition are all factors that determine the success of the case and your financial recovery. Though an injured party is not required by law to keep their eyes glued to the ground while walking, to look for potential hazards, the conduct of the injury party is also an important consideration when evaluating a premises liability case. 

Premises liability cases also involve negligence on the part of a restaurant, a retail store, a private or public property owner, and a variety of other instances in which injuries occur.
