Personal Injury Law
Slip & Fall, Trip & Fall
Property owners—including homeowners, business operators, and landlords—are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe. They must take reasonable steps to ensure that areas commonly used by visitors are free from hazardous conditions that could lead to slip and fall injuries.
Some common property defects that may lead to a premises liability personal injury claim include:
- Snow or ice which is not properly removed or treated
- Liquid from a leak or spill
- A rug, cord or other object which creates a hazard in a walkway or path
- Water from cleaning the floors for which there are inadequate warnings
- Defective pavement or steps which cause a fall
Although property owners aren’t required to warn about open and obvious hazards, they may still be held liable if a visitor is injured and their actions were reasonable under the circumstances.
A skilled and experienced personal injury attorney can review the details of your fall and determine whether you may be eligible to recover compensation.

If you or someone close to you has been seriously injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall on someone else’s property, you may have a valid claim.
