A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere and when you least expect it. Slip and fall injuries are also far more common than some may believe. According to the CDC, each year 800,000 emergency room visits are for fall-related injuries. Common places for slip and fall accidents due to property owner negligence include:
Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries and catastrophic medical conditions, from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. According to data by the National Safety Council, falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths. Older Americans are particularly susceptible to serious slip and fall injuries due to age-related frailties.
Falls can happen for many reasons, sometimes due to a third party’s negligence and sometimes not. If someone is responsible for repairing or maintaining a location, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, potential loss of income, and pain and suffering. Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
If a property owner or management failed to address a hazard or dangerous condition on their property and you fell and were injured as a result, you may have grounds for a slip and fall lawsuit. This can potentially give you the ability to hold property owners liable for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

To hold property owners accountable, you will need to prove the potentially at-fault party’s negligence, as well as show proof of your damages and how they have affected your life. Our team of proven Yardley slip and fall lawyers has the resources and experience to investigate the causes of your slip and fall, establish negligence, and fight for the compensation you may be entitled to._x000D_
Slip and fall lawsuits fall under premises liability law. When pursuing compensation, you must prove your slip and fall accident was the result of a property owner’s negligence and not due to chance or clumsiness. One of our Yardley premises liability lawyers will gather evidence that shows there were dangerous conditions on the property that a reasonable property owner would have identified and fixed in a timely manner before anyone was injured.
For a condition to be considered dangerous, it has to present a risk of harm to people on the property and must be a condition a person would not expect. In other words, it cannot be an obvious and avoidable hazard. A good example of dangerous conditions would be broken stairs in a dimly lit movie theater. When going to their seat, one would expect the stairs to be safe and fully intact. If they are not, that could be considered a dangerous condition.
In addition to proving dangerous conditions, a slip and fall lawsuit also requires proof that the property owner did not act as a reasonable property owner should. A reasonable property owner regularly examines their property for any dangerous conditions and addresses them in a timely manner. Your slip and fall lawyer will seek to prove that the property owner acted in a negligent manner, resulting in conditions that allowed people to injure themselves.
While the facts of each case differ, our attorneys have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of our clients injured in slip and fall accidents. While past results do not guarantee future compensation, it is important to seek knowledgeable legal counsel that is experienced in litigating slip and fall cases._x000D_
