A "slip and fall" or "trip and fall" is the generic term for a
personal injury which occurs when someone slips, trips or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property.
It includes falls as a result of water, ice or snow, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground.
It includes falling on uneven sidewalks, being injured because of a slippery floor in a restaurant, or getting injured because of poor lighting or unexpected objects in your way.
If you are on someone else's property and are injured as a result of a dangerous condition on the property, the land owner or business proprietor may be liable for your injuries.
If you are a property owner and someone injures himself on your land, you may find yourself legally responsible for his or her injuries.
A Slip & Fall Can Result in Permanent Injuries:
FLAHERTY FARDO, LLC understands that accidents can happen. However, if the accident was directly caused by the negligence of someone else, then personal responsibility cannot be ignored.
Victims of slip and falls may have permanent injuries and a lifetime of medical expenses. Pennsylvania law allows such victims the legal right to be compensated for their injuries.
We have represented numerous
satisfied clients who have been permanently injured as a result of a property owner's negligence. The most common permanent injuries are to the shoulders and arms, when the individuals try to brace themselves during the fall.
Torn rotator cuffs are prime example of a permanent injury that can be caused by a slip & fall.
Restaurants, Shopping Malls, Hotels & Stores:
Thousands of business owners across our state invite residents into their restaurants, shopping centers and/or stores. Since the owners are inviting these paying customers into their premise, they have a legal duty to make sure that their property is safe for its intended use.
This legal duty includes keeping the sidewalks in front of their stores clear of ice and debris. In supermarkets, it means making sure that the aisles are dry and ready for customers to use.
Too often, people are injured because of hidden defects in sidewalks, parking lots, and other surfaces. Injuries as a direct result of defective escalators or elevators can cause permanent and severe injuries.
If you or a loved one has fallen and been injured on somebody else's property, you may need experienced Pennsylvania trial attorneys to protect your legal rights. Call for a free consultation 412.802.6666.
