Why You Need a Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Utilizing a slip and fall accident lawyer allows you to seek accountability and compensation from an at-fault party. Property owners who fail to keep up with property maintenance, or others who deliberately cause harm may be held liable for you or a loved one’s injuries, ensuing pain and suffering, and even loss of income.
Age Considerations
A slip and fall accident can result in life-altering consequences at any age, with even more severe impacts depending on your current productivity, potential, and existing health conditions.
When a young person suffers a severe slip and fall, the accident can result in drastic, lifelong effects, such as paralysis. This impacts their future productivity, severely limiting their potential to live a full life.
Older victims can also suffer severe complications from slip and falls. Fractures, concussions, brain and spinal cord injuries, and other effects can be further complicated by old age, resulting in prolonged recovery, if not loss of life.
When filing a slip and fall claim, our lawyers will retain medical, vocational, and future care experts to illustrate your pain and suffering, and quantify your losses.
Proving Negligence in Slip and Fall Claims
Who is responsible for your slip and fall? A viable claim seeks compensation from the party responsible for your accident and resulting injuries, trauma, and financial impacts.
While no one else but you is responsible for tripping over your own feet or untied shoelaces, contractors, property managers, and even municipal governments owe you a duty of care in ensuring you have a safe space to walk. Your slip and fall claim will prove that they were remiss in upholding their duty of care by failing to remove hazards, causing injury.

Common Questions About Slip and Fall Accident Claims
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
Generally, you only have 7 days to notify the property owner where you were injured, and 2 years to commence a lawsuit. Given these limited timeframes, it is in your best interest to speak with a personal injury lawyer right away. They can help you provide written notice of your intent to sue and file your claim within the statute of limitations.
Who can I sue for a slip and fall accident?
Typically, slip and fall claims distinguish between the owner and occupant of a property to determine who is responsible for maintaining the site where you were injured. Whoever failed to remove potential hazards at the site of your injury can be held liable for your slip and fall.
For example, if you were injured inside an apartment unit as a direct result of its upkeep, then you can file a claim against the tenant. However, if you were injured in a common area of the building or as a direct result of the property manager’s failure to maintain the building, they are liable.
What damages can I claim in a slip and fall?
A slip and fall claim allows you to recover compensation for your recovery, as well as the lifelong impact of the accident.
These include healthcare, attendant care, mobility and accessibility devices, and lost income. A personal injury lawyer can help you determine the extent of these losses and seek the full compensation you are entitled to.
