Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer

Premises liability refers to claims for injuries sustained while on the property of another. Injuries may range from a head injury or neck injury to a torn ligament or broken bone. Generally, a claim arises when accidents occur due to the negligence of the property owner in maintaining the property, or in failing to warn visitors about dangerous conditions. Slip and fall accidents often involve:

• A broken or raised sidewalk
• Icy or slick sidewalk or walkway
• A wet or slippery floor in a supermarket or other retail establishment
• A poorly lit stairwell
• Debris on a construction site
• Torn carpet in a home, business, or retail establishment
• A broken stair or nails sticking up on a stair
• A pot hole in a parking lot
• A collapsing balcony or rotted deck
• Other dangerous conditions

Recovering compensation for a slip and fall accident can be challenging. It is important to have an experienced lawyer who knows what it takes to develop a solid claim for liability. In order to recover, you must prove the store, homeowner, or other individual was negligent and allowed the accident to occur. For example, it you slipped and fell on a wet floor at the grocery store, you must prove the floor was wet and unnoticed by the store for an unreasonable amount of time. Additionally, the injury must have been reported to the store immediately.

Other Premises Accidents

In addition to slip and fall accidents, Steve Toole represents clients injured in other accidents occurring on residential or commercial property, including:

• Dog bites or animal attacks
• Assaults resulting from negligent or insufficient security
• Accidents occurring on construction sites
