Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries and complex legal situations. Whether the incident occurred in a public place, workplace, or private property, Presley & Presley Trial Attorneys navigate the legal complexities to ensure fair compensation for victims. We’re here to secure justice and help our clients recover from the physical, emotional, and financial impact of slip and fall accidents.

What Are Slip and Fall Accidents?

Property owners have a legal responsibility to provide a reasonably safe environment for those who visit their premises, including customers, clients, tenants, and other invitees. This is referred to as “premises liability” and is the cause for action in accidents like slips and falls. When there is a known or reasonably discoverable safety hazard that could lead to injuries, property owners and managers are expected to warn visitors and repair it in a timely manner. When serious slip and fall injuries occur due to an ignored hazard, these property owners or managers can be held legally accountable for economic and non-economic damages resulting from the fall. Having an experienced slip and fall accident attorney representing you can help make sure that you are awarded the full compensation you need to recover.

Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Accidents

Falling down at a grocery store does not automatically make its owner liable for damages. It must be demonstrated that the fall and the injuries that resulted were due to negligence on the part of the owner or manager of the property. In this example, if an employee or a store manager noticed that there was a broken bottle of some liquid on the floor but failed to at least place “wet floor” signs to protect people walking in that area, then a resulting slip and fall would be a premises liability case. Property owners, employers, and their employees are expected to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm.

Slip and fall accidents can occur in a number of ways, such as:

Wet, slick, or oily floors
Uneven flooring or sidewalks
Torn carpeting
Broken or cracked tiles or sidewalk
Debris or objects that have fallen into paths, aisles, and corridors
Potholes
Unsecured railings
Inadequate or missing lights leading to poor visibility
