Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
In some cases, man-made factors have caused your fall. These factors are circumstances such as wet floors or walkways, broken stairs or floors and other types of disrepair and hazards on any walking surface. If this is the circumstance of your slip and fall, the owner of the property potentially has the responsibility to compensate you for your injuries, depending on your legal status on the property. Often it is confusing and complicated to prove an injury was sustained due to negligence on the part of the property owner. The attorneys of the firm are highly qualified and experienced in dealing with the complications in such cases. The attorneys will work closely with you to resolve your case. Don’t try to handle such a case on your own, as you will certainly find yourself up against an insurance company, a large company or business.
If you have had the misfortune of slipping and falling on another’s property or premises and feel that the fault lies with the property owner, do not hesitate to call the firm to discuss your case over the phone free of charge. Based on the free phone consultation of your case, the attorney can meet with you in person if it appears that you do potentially have a case against the owner or manager of the property. If you are unable to come to our office, the attorney will meet with you in your home or in the hospital.
In Pennsylvania, there are thousands of such accidents resulting in disabling injuries each year. Had the property owner correctly maintained the property or posted safety warnings in specific walking areas, many such slip and fall accidents could have been avoided altogether. However, if an owner or manager fails to safely maintain a walking surface or post a warning for any potential dangers on the property, slip and fall injuries do occur. The victim of such an accident, when caused by negligence on the part of the owner or manager, is legally entitled to damages for their slip and fall injury. It is important that you contact a competent slip and fall lawyer. Legal representation is vital in such a case in order to ensure that you are not just “brushed off” with some sort of compensation by the responsible party's insurance company. There may be more potential damages than an unrepresented individual is aware of. It is the duty of the lawyer of the firm to look into and maximize the chances of success in slip and fall cases.
