Slip & Falls
Building owners, homeowners, businesses and the government are required to maintain their properties, both inside and outside, so that they are safe for customers, guests and others. When a person slips, trips or falls, as a result of a dangerous or an improperly designed condition on another person's property, the owner of the property is responsible for the victim's medical bills, wage losses, pain and suffering and other damages.
There are many types of dangerous conditions that can cause people to fall, including:
- Cracked, broken or uneven sidewalks and walkways
- Uneven carpeting or other flooring
- Improperly designed ramps
- Unsafe stairs, including stairs that lack or have unsafe handrails
- Potholes on streets and in parking lots
- Accumulations of snow and ice
- Building code violations that result in unsafe conditions
- Slippery floors in grocery stores and other retail locations caused by spills, dropped merchandise and other events
- Inadequate lighting in parking lots, parking ramps or other areas
Persons who slip and fall can suffer a wide range of serious injuries, including scrapes, bruises, lacerations, broken bones, strains, sprains, head trauma, neck, back and spinal injuries. Often, these injuries linger and require ongoing medical care, including doctor visits, physical therapy or even surgery.
At Pogust Braslow & Millrood, we accept cases from individuals who were injured in slip and fall accidents. We utilize a team of investigators and experts familiar with the relevant building codes and other regulations that govern buildings and other properties. This allows us to thoroughly investigate every claim in order to determine how our client fell, and how the building owner or tenant failed to maintain safe conditions at the property. We also ascertain how long the defect existed, so that we can later prove that the defendant knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.
We recognize that slip and falls can result in serious injuries, and we prepare every case with the goal of obtaining complete compensation for our clients, including their medical expenses, wage losses, and pain and suffering.
