Common Slip and Fall Situations

Slip and fall accidents often occur due to:

Wet or slippery floors, poor lighting, or uneven sidewalks
Faulty stairs, handrails, or steps
Unsafe security measures leading to injury or assault
Negligent property maintenance causing hazardous conditions

How Liability Is Determined

To recover damages, it’s important to know:

Awareness: Did the property owner know or should they have known about the hazard?
Negligence: Did they fail to fix the hazard, warn you, or restrict access?
Causation: Did the hazard directly cause your injury?

If the answer is yes, a skilled premises liability attorney can help you pursue fair compensation.
