About Premises Liability Law and Slip and Fall Accidents
The owner of any premises may be held liable for injuries to others that occur on that property. Common examples of injuries are slip-and-fall mishaps caused by dangerous inattention to wet floors, oily pavement, or dark stairways. While a simple fall won't normally result in serious injury, it certainly can if the victim is elderly, or has some preexisting condition aggravated by the trauma of a fall. Some examples of dangerous conditions which may lead to a slip and fall injury include, but are not limited to:
- Carelessly stored construction equipment or debris
- Personal assaults or violent crimes occurring at unsafe, non-surveilled residences or businesses
- Building code violations regarding balconies, stairways, and porches
- Unsupervised or poorly maintained hotel or motel swimming pools
- Dangerous or defective amusement park rides
- Uneven or potholed driveways or parking lots
- Unsecured excavation sites
- Collapsing ceilings, roofs, scaffolding, or other overhead structures
We have also successfully represented plaintiffs in legal actions brought against community recreation centers and local playgrounds for reasons of dangerous conditions. In cases involving ANY local government entity, contacting our office immediately is essential due to special rules that apply to the timing and presentation of claims against municipalities
