Premises Liability/ Slip and Falls
If you’ve been injured in a Slip & Fall accident, you know that the consequences can be serious. A fall can send you to the hospital with severe and painful injuries, sometimes requiring surgery and years of physical therapy to heal. At worst, these accidents can result in lifelong debilitating conditions—and in some cases, even death.
The risks are particularly high for elders, with falls currently the leading cause of injury-related death for those 65 and older. To make matters worse is the fact that many of these accidents are preventable; numerous Slip & Falls occur on poorly maintained properties, and negligent owners are often to blame. We understand that such injuries can be life-altering, and we want to help.
