Slip / Trip and Fall
When property is not adequately maintained, or when dangerous conditions are allowed to exist without proper warning to those who could be harmed by the conditions, a premises liability claim can compensate those injured due to property owner negligence. Slip and falls, as well as trip and falls, are the most common type of these claims, which are also known as property owner negligence cases.
​
While these cases often involve readily apparent injuries, they may involve injuries that do not appear serious but will actually plague someone for life. Regardless of the severity of the injury, it is important to turn to an experienced attorney when pursuing a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall claim. Due to the high potential liability that property owners face in these cases, the insurance companies responsible for defending against these claims will use aggressive tactics and use every possible method for minimizing the compensation paid in property injury cases.
