Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners owe you safety. When they cut corners, we collect.
Premises liability law holds property owners, landlords, grocery stores, and apartment complexes accountable for injuries caused by dangerous conditions — wet floors, broken stairs, missing handrails, poor lighting, and inadequate security. Our attorneys have settled countless slip and fall cases against major retailers and property managers.
Slip-and-falls, negligent security at apartment complexes, unsafe parking lots, swimming-pool incidents — if the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard, they're on the hook.
After an Accident
The first five moves.
- Step 01
Report the Incident in Writing
File a written report with management. Get a copy before you leave.
- Step 02
Photograph the Hazard
The wet floor, the broken stair, the missing handrail — before it's 'fixed' and the evidence vanishes.
- Step 03
Collect Witnesses
Names, phone numbers, what they saw.
- Step 04
Get Medical Treatment
Even if you 'feel fine' — soft-tissue injuries and concussions often surface days later.
- Step 05
Preserve Surveillance
We send preservation letters immediately so the store's footage doesn't 'loop over'.
