How do I know if I am to blame for a slip and fall accident?
If it took place in your own home, there is no legal action you can take. If the fall occurred on property other than your own and the walkway was flawed or unsafe, you may have a case. Call or email us immediately for a free consultation

What constitutes a flawed walkway?
Anything that makes the walkway unsafe. For example, if the walkway had uneven flooring, a slippery surface, or if there were foreign objects on the walkway, you could sue for damages.

What kinds of injuries are typical of slip and fall cases?
Typically, neck injuries, head injuries, spine injuries and broken bones are the most common result of a fall. Some of these injuries have symptoms that manifest themselves weeks or months after the initial accident.

Who is responsible if I am injured due to a fall on someone else's property?
Generally, the owner of the property is responsible. But, if it is the property manager's job to insure the property is safe, he or she could be held liable instead. It will depend on the specifics of your case.

What if the owner of the property did not know it was unsafe?
He or she can still be held accountable for negligence if there is evidence he or she should have reasonably known about the danger.

What damages can I be awarded in a slip and fall lawsuit?
If the owner of the property is found to be negligent, you can be compensated for medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of wages due to missed work.
