Slip and Fall Accidents

Your Slip and Fall Injury May Qualify You for Compensation

The term slip and fall is used in personal injury law to describe when a person slips, trips or falls and sustains an injury on another person's property. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, people have been injured while frequenting businesses because of someone else's negligence. Accidents like these usually happen on another person's property, hence these are also known as "premises liability" claims. Someone who slips and falls may suffer any number of types of injuries, from bruises and scrapes to fractures and nerve damage.

Whoever owns or is responsible for the premises is legally responsible for your injury. Don't suffer because of someone else's carelessness. You may be entitled to compensation.

Premises can include hardware stores, restaurants, office buildings, supermarkets, department stores, other people's homes, and much more.

Flager & Yockey, P.C. will fight for victims in slip and fall liability cases such as:

  • Negligent care of a sidewalk or publicly-owned area, such as a pothole in the ground
  • Unsafe or narrow stairways
  • Torn carpeting, changes in flooring, poor lighting or a wet floor
  • Safety code violations

Do not delay seeking qualified legal assistance. The statute of limitations restricts the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit and may prevent you from obtaining justice. While the statute of limitations allows more time for minor victims to file claims in court, it's important to take action sooner rather than later while witnesses' memories are fresh and evidence remains intact.
