Slip/Trip and Fall Accident

Premise liability cases often deal with clients who have serious injuries.  We hold the negligent party responsible for failing to take proper action which would have prevented you from falling down because you may have sustained a broken bone or a family member may have even died as a result of the fall.  There are numerous examples of premise liability accidents.  Some are a failure of a property owner to remove snow or ice that led you to slip and fall.  Others include construction workers falling over debris on the floor falling.  The types of cases are endless.
