Slip and fall claims can occur anywhere and by the negligence of anyone. The defendant in a tort claim can be a single person or an organization, even the city or municipality that is negligent for uneven surfaces, cracked pavements, unsalted snow and ice, and poor lighting. These cases require thorough investigation and a deep understanding of premises liability law to prove that the property owner or occupier failed in their duty of care. We can help claimants by proving liability, investigating claims thoroughly, and navigating through the strict time limits for slip and fall claims.

Slip and fall accidents can occur in various locations and circumstances, often due to hazardous conditions that property owners should have addressed. Understanding these common causes is essential for building a strong legal case. Some of the most frequent causes include:

• Wet or slippery floors: Spilled liquids, recently mopped floors without proper warning signs, or leaking pipes creating slippery surfaces
• Uneven or damaged surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, broken stairs, loose floorboards, or uneven pavement that creates tripping hazards
• Poor lighting conditions: Inadequate lighting in stairwells, parking lots, or walkways that prevents individuals from seeing potential hazards
• Snow and ice hazards: Unsalted walkways, poorly maintained parking lots, or accumulated ice on steps and entrances during winter months
• Obstacles and debris: Items left in walkways, construction materials, or merchandise improperly placed in aisles
• Defective or missing handrails: Stairs without proper railings or handrails that are loose, broken, or improperly installed
• Worn or torn carpeting: Loose carpets, rugs with curled edges, or flooring materials in poor condition

Inadequate maintenance: Failure to repair known hazards or conduct regular inspections of the property
