Premises Liability–“Slip & Fall”

Published by admin on March 6th, 2011 - in Pedestrian accident attorney

While premises liability can involve many circumstances, the most common accident is that of a slip and fall injury. This can result from an icy sidewalk, a uneven walkway, or when a step is uneven.  The unsafe condition may be the result of action or inaction taken by or on behalf of the landowner, such as by his employees, a subcontractor, or even an invited guest.

The justification for this liability is that property owners have a duty to provide safe and clean environments for those visiting or working on their property.  Some other examples of premises liability include injuries from:

  • Toxic mold or chemicals
  • Lead poisoning
  • Defective or inadequate lighting
  • Defective or poorly maintained equipment
  • Hazardous conditions
  • Dog attacks
  • Slippery and wet conditions

If you think that you or a loved one have a slip and fall case that you would like to pursue, contact an expert San Francisco pedestrian accident attorney for a free and confidential consultation.

Almost everyone has tripped over their own feet and fell to the ground at some point in their lives. But, when a fall is caused by a condition caused by the negligence of another person, then the fall can be the proper cause for a slip and fall claim.  Dangerous conditions such as torn carpeting, changes in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet floor can all cause a slip and fall accident.  Other instances of slip and fall incidents can occur when people trip on broken sidewalks, or fall on stairs or an escalator. Due to the complication of determining who is at fault in a slip and fall claim, these cases are the most contested by the insurance companies.

A law firm with years of experience in handling slip and fall claims, such as the Phoenix slip & fall accident lawyers at Wattel & York will prove these cases and get the insurance companies to agree to a settlement.

The phrase “slip and fall” describes a personal injury case in which a person slips, falls, and becomes injured as the result of a hazardous condition on someone else’s property. Conditions can exist or arise either outside or inside a building or other structure, posing a risk. Inside a building, conditions such as wet floors, torn carpeting, or narrow stairs can cause a person to slip and hurt him or herself. Outside, someone may slip due to rain, ice, or snow. People who suffer lip and fall accidents that result in injury can be potentially eligible for damages whether the property is commercial, public, or residential. All property owners have some responsibility to ensure that an environment is safe.
