Slip and Fall Attorney

Anyone can slip and fall and have an accident. In fact, everyone has tripped, slipped or fallen down at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, these slip and falls can sometimes cause severe injuries, and when they occur on someone else's property, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit.

Falls are a leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the US. Studies show that 60% of all falls are related to a flaw on the walking surface. These flaws could include any of the following:

Uneven flooring
Slippery surface due to weather or a spill
Foreign objects on walkways that shouldn't be there

For older adults, most falls usually take place in their own homes. Unfortunately, when this happens, the victim is the only person that can be held responsible. This is not only always the case, however. When falls resulting in injury take place in somebody else's home or business, or on government property, an experienced lawyer like Brian J. Glick will be needed to prove negligence in your case.

Slip and fall cases are subjective, and many factors are usually considered before guilt can be assigned. For a victim to win a lawsuit, one of the following must be proven:

The owner/responsible party caused damage to the walking surface
The owner/responsible party knew there was danger and did nothing about it
There are reasonable circumstances proving the owner/responsible party should have known about the danger, but didn't
