What Are Slip & Fall Cases?

Know Your Rights After a Fall

Need help after a slip and fall accident? Learn more about slip and fall resources and what you need to know. Slip and fall cases happen when people are injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions. Property owners have a duty to keep their property safe for visitors. When they fail to do this, they can be held responsible for resulting injuries.

Common slip and fall accidents include wet floors without warning signs, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven surfaces, and icy walkways. These accidents often cause serious injuries like broken bones, head injuries, and back problems that can take months or years to heal.

Our Slip & Fall Legal Services

The León Law Firm handles all types of slip and fall cases. We know how to prove property owners were negligent and get you the compensation you deserve:

Store and Restaurant Slip & Fall Claims

Stores and restaurants have a legal duty to maintain safe floors for their customers. They must clean up spills immediately, place warning signs around wet areas, and promptly repair damaged flooring. When businesses ignore these safety duties, customers often suffer serious injuries. We help people injured in grocery stores, restaurants, retail shops, and other businesses. We prove the business knew about dangerous conditions but failed to fix them or even warn customers.

Apartment and Hotel Slip & Fall Claims

Apartment complexes and hotels must keep common areas safe for residents and guests. This includes hallways, stairwells, parking lots, and pool areas. Poor lighting, broken handrails, and wet surfaces can cause serious falls. We help people injured in apartment buildings, hotels, and other rental properties. We prove the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions or fix known problems.

Public Property Slip & Fall Claims

Government buildings, sidewalks, and public spaces must be kept reasonably safe for the public. When cities, counties, or other government entities fail to maintain safe conditions, people can get hurt. We help people injured on public property due to unsafe conditions. These cases have special rules and deadlines, so it’s important to act quickly.

Common Questions About Slip & Fall Cases

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about slip and fall injury cases:

Understanding Slip & Fall Law

What types of conditions cause slip and fall accidents?

Common dangerous conditions include wet floors, spilled liquids, uneven surfaces, broken stairs, poor lighting, icy walkways, loose rugs, and cluttered walkways. Property owners must regularly inspect their property and fix dangerous conditions or warn visitors about them.

How do I prove the property owner was at fault for my slip and fall?

You must show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn about it. We gather evidence like security camera footage, incident reports, witness statements, and photos of the scene. We also look for similar accidents at the same location.

What if the property owner says I should have watched where I was going?

Property owners often try to blame victims for not paying attention. But property owners still have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe. Even if you were somewhat distracted, the property owner can still be held responsible if they created or allowed a dangerous condition to exist.

Legal Process and Evidence

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?

Most slip and fall cases have a two-year deadline from the date of your accident. Government property cases may have shorter deadlines. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer because important evidence can be lost over time, and witnesses’ memories fade.

What evidence do you need for my slip and fall case?

We need photos of where you fell, your injuries, and the conditions that caused your fall. We also need medical records, witness contact information, and any incident reports filed. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve important evidence.

What if there were no witnesses to my slip and fall?

Even without witnesses, we can often prove your case using security camera footage, physical evidence at the scene, and expert testimony. We also look for other accidents or complaints about the same dangerous condition.

What if the property owner says they didn't know about the dangerous condition?

Property owners have a duty to regularly inspect their property for dangerous conditions. We investigate how long the condition existed, whether employees or customers complained about it, and whether reasonable inspections would have discovered it. Often, dangerous conditions exist for hours or days before causing accidents.

Types of Injuries and Compensation You Can Get

What types of injuries are common in slip and fall accidents?

Common injuries include broken bones (especially hips, wrists, and ankles), head injuries, back and spine injuries, torn ligaments, and cuts. These injuries often require surgery, physical therapy, and long recovery times. Some injuries cause permanent disabilities or ongoing pain.

How much compensation can I get for my slip and fall case?

The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and how the injuries affected your life. Cases with serious injuries like hip fractures or head injuries typically result in higher settlements. We fight for full compensation for all your damages, including future medical needs and reduced quality of life.

What if my slip and fall happened at work?

Workplace slip and falls may be covered by workers’ compensation, but you might also have a claim against third parties like property owners or cleaning companies. We investigate all possible sources of compensation to get you maximum recovery.
