We handle everything from investigating the scene of the incident to gathering other evidence and helping you prepare for settlement or trial.

Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents fall under premises liability law and often trace back to a preventable obstacle or hazard. When these issues occur, land managers or property owners have a legal responsibility to either remove the hazard or accurately notify anyone on the property about the risks. When this fails to occur and someone else up seriously hurt, they may be eligible to file a premises liability lawsuit for their injuries and related damages.

Some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

• Torn carpeting
• Peeling flooring
• Wet or sticky surfaces
• Broken or lack of handrails
• Icy sidewalks or entrance areas
• It’s important to get pictures or videos of the scene as soon as you can after an injury since this information may be used in your premises liability claim. Our Loveland premises liability lawyers are experienced in looking at accident scenarios and helping you to pull together evidence that tells your side of the story. The more you can gather in advance, however, the easier it is to bring this information together into a cohesive story.
• It’s in your best interests not to talk or negotiate with a property owner after you get hurt on their premises. You want to avoid making any statements or being pressured into signing anything before you’ve had the chance to speak to your lawyer.
