Slip & Fall
According to statistics, millions of Americans suffer trips, slips, and falls each year, resulting in an estimated 800,000 hospitalizations for fall-related injuries. Slip-and-fall accidents can lead to long-term complications in one’s health, along with threats to your financial security in the form of unexpected medical expenses.
Slip & Fall Victims Are NOT to Blame
Though it is common to think that fall-related complications are the victim’s sole responsibility, many accidents can also occur on the premises of commercial, public, or private property, with most having laws that make it. Hence, land and property owners have the legal responsibility of ensuring their property to be free of harm. Property owners who fail to maintain safe premises for visitors may be held liable for injuries that occur on their property under charges of negligence and premises liability. If you’ve suffered a slip-and-fall accident on another’s property and sustained an injury, you may be entitled to compensation.
Based on the nature of your accident, you can file a claim to determine who is to be held liable for the conditions that led to the accident and any resulting injuries. To properly do this, it is necessary that you follow these steps:
- Seek Medical Attention
- Get Photos And Take Notes Detailing The Accident
- Identify and Contact Witnesses
- Notify The Appropriate Workplace Authority
- Contact A Slip-And-Fall Lawyer
