Your Rights And Responsibilities

Slip-and-fall accidents and trip-and-fall accidents are the most common types of accidents that lead to premises liability claims. Still, these accidents can be very serious. That is why property owners have an obligation to ensure that their properties are safe for guests and visitors.

If a property owner or store manager knew about or should have known about a hazard but failed to remove or fix it, anyone injured due to the property owner’s negligence has a right to seek compensation for damages.

Important: Evidence in slip-and-fall accidents is time-sensitive, so it is important that you 1) report the accident immediately to the establishment where the fall occurred; 2) document the dangerous property conditions if you can by taking pictures, saving witness names and phone numbers, getting a copy of any incident report filled out by the property owner; and 3) do not hesitate to seek appropriate medical treatment if you are injured.

Getting The Medical Treatment You Need

Leg injuries, shoulder injuries, back injuries, head injuries and broken bones are unfortunately common results of slip-and-fall accidents. Whatever your situation may be, you need appropriate medical care for your specific injuries. We can help you get the medical care you need. You can also rely on us and our knowledge, skill and experience to put more money in your pocket instead of the medical provider’s.
