Trip, slip and fall injury attorneys

A “slip & fall” or “trip & fall” injury refers to any injury, including death, that happens when someone trips, slips, or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. Such personal injuries can happen almost anywhere. They may happen in a parking lot, grocery store, car repair shop, someone else’s home or in any public area. If you, or a loved one, have been injured on someone else’s property and the injury is a result of a dangerous condition, then the landowner or business owner may be liable for your injuries. However, in order to prevail on a claim for negligence as a result of such a condition, the injured party must generally prove that the business owner or landowner knew or should have known about the dangerous or hazardous condition and that they failed to make it safe, correct the problem, or warn others of this dangerous condition.

In all of our slip & fall injury cases, we advance all costs. No attorney fees apply unless our attorneys are able to secure a recovery on our client’s behalf.

Some of the common situations that may lead to such an injury are:

• Water or ice on the ground
• Oil in a parking lot
• Dropped produce in the market
• Poor lighting
• Uneven or damaged flooring
• Hidden hazards like hard-to-see holes in the ground
• Spills from damaged containers
• Improperly stacked merchandise
• Lack of adequate warning signs

There are also times when a homeowner, landowner, or business owner are expected to use common sense and take proper precautions to halt the dangerous condition even before it occurred. As with any accident, when a premises liability injury occurs, the medical bills usually will grow very quickly and just dealing with the responsible business can be a big headache. The personal injury lawyers of Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC can help you with such an injury case.
