You Get the Medical Treatment and
Money You Deserve!
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere – in the grocery store, an office building, a restaurant – or just while you’re out walking around town. No matter where they occur, they have one thing in common: They can cause injuries that can involve a significant amount of medical care.
Many of these falls occur not because of your clumsiness, but because of negligence on the part of another person or business. For instance, if a sidewalk is left unrepaired, causing you to trip and fall, is that your fault or is it the fault of the property owner whose responsibility it is to keep it in good repair? If you walk into the grocery store on a rainy day and slip and fall on slippery flooring, is that your fault or is the owner negligent for not making sure the floors are kept clean and dry?
Negligence can take many forms. Wet floors and crooked pavement are a couple of common types of negligent behavior that can result in tremendous injuries and monetary damages. But even a failure to provide adequate lighting can be considered negligent if a darkened stairway or other walkway results in someone missing their footing and falling.
When negligence occurs, someone almost always suffers. In slip and fall accidents, that suffering often means costly medical treatments, physical therapy and other accident-related costs that can add up quickly. Some slip and fall accidents can cause serious head, neck or spinal injuries that can persist for years – even a lifetime.
When an accident occurs because another party failed to act or acted in a way that results in a potentially dangerous situation – for instance, “do-it-yourself-repairs that result in hazards, they may be considered to be negligent, and that means they should pay for any costs you incur related to an accident.
