slip fall accidents

Under certain circumstances, an owner or operator of property or a business establishment may be held liable for a person’s injuries if a defect in the premises results in injury or death. Generally, a property owner is required to keep the property fee from hazards. Premises liability cases may involve slip and falls on broken or uneven surfaces, wet or slippery surfaces or improperly lighted surfaces. Such claims may involve falling merchandise, improperly maintained elevators or escalators or falling equipment. Premises liability cases sometimes even involve inadequate security resulting in assaults in hotels, parking garages, malls, or department stores. If you believe that you have a premises liability claim, it is important to contact a lawyer immediately so that any and all available evidence can be preserved and protected, and a thorough investigation can be conducted into the facts of your case.
