Injured in a Slip and Fall?
James McKiernan Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Can Help Win Restitution
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that over a million American suffer an injury from a slip, trip and fall every year. Over 17,000 people a year die from these types of injuries. A slip, trip and fall injury could happen on private property or in a public space. However, property owners and occupants have a duty to maintain any property under his or her control. They have to exercise reasonable care to keep the property in a safe condition. This includes removing hazards and warning tenants and/or visitors of any unsafe conditions that exist. If they do not and you suffer an injury on the property, you might be able to file a premises liability lawsuit against them.
Proving fault in a slip and fall claim can be difficult. Even if an owner or occupant is using reasonable and diligent care in upkeeping the property, accidents might still happen. In fact, the owner or occupant might argue that the accident was your fault.
