What is commonly known as a “slip and fall” accident falls under the area of premises liability case law. This is a very common type of injury that generally occurs on another person’s property, and most often results in lawsuits against the property owner or their insurance company.
Maintenance issues can be a cause of a slip and fall accident, as can a dangerous condition. If you are injured on someone’s property through no fault of your own, a consultation with an attorney who has experience with lawsuits of this type is highly recommended. You may have suffered injuries that you are not fully aware of until some time after the incident. Proper medical attention is important, even if you do not have insurance.
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner. It is expected that you should not suffer harm or injury from unsafe conditions. If you have suffered due to the failure of a property owner to maintain safe conditions, you may need to consider filing one or more lawsuits to seek recovery for your expenses, lost wages and pain.
