A slip and Fall Accident

Slip or trip and fall accidents happen every day and they are especially troublesome because they can happen anywhere to anyone. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, falls account for over 8 million (23%) hospital emergency room visits, making falls the leading cause of ER visits. A wet floor, inappropriately placed object, hidden danger or inappropriate floor care in a hotel, bar, grocery store, or shopping mall causes you to fall, and suddenly, you’re injured, and your life and that of your family are forever changed.

Locations such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, and apartment or office building complexes all have a legal duty to make their premises safe from harm that is reasonably foreseeable. Seek medical attention immediately, take pictures of the dangerous condition and call our experienced firm to help you through this troublesome time.
