Slip And Fall Accidents

Injured by a Slip and Fall on Someone Else’s Property?

If you have been hurt by the negligence or intentional acts of others, William McBride wants to hear your story. As an injury lawyer, he has dedicated his career to helping individuals get justice for the harm they have suffered. Attorney McBride fights aggressively to get his clients what they need to recover from a slip and fall injury.

Slips and falls are common occurrences. Many times, slips and falls are simple accidents that do not result in serious injury. However, there are other cases where a simple fall can lead to a bone fracture, concussion, or paralysis. Slip and fall accidents are major causes of brain injuries and broken bones, particularly for elderly individuals.

Do I Need a Slip and Fall Injury Attorney?

Businesses like restaurants, retail stores, and hotels invite the public onto their property in hopes of making a profit. Because of this, they are legally obligated to ensure that their premises are safe and reasonably free of hazards. Unfortunately, they do not always perform their due diligence, which can result in their guests suffering serious and painful personal injuries.

Slips and falls are most often the result of unsafe environmental factors, such as:

• Torn carpeting or loose/uneven flooring;
• Liquid on slick surfaces such as floors, bathrooms, or outdoor decks and patios;
• Improper lighting or burnt-out safety lights in dark places;
• Narrow, slippery, or otherwise dangerous staircases;
• Cracked, unrepaired sidewalks, walkways, and public paths or trails;
• Malfunctioning escalators or elevators;
• Snow or ice accumulation;
• Hidden hazards such as low-hanging tree limbs or unseen potholes.

Property owners have a duty to maintain their estates, and if slips, trips, and injuries occur as a result of a dangerous hazard, they could be held legally responsible.

What Happens in a Slip and Fall Injury Case?

Establishing a slip and fall case requires an experienced, compassionate injury lawyer. Different states have different statutes governing premises liability, and it is important to have a legal advocate with experience in this field of law.

If you have suffered a slip and fall injury, you must act to establish your rights. Bringing a claim not only compensates you for your damages but also forces a property owner to correct the circumstance and avoid future injury to others. The legal team at William McBride Law Group can help you receive the full compensation to which you are entitled.
