SLIP AND FALL

Slip and fall accidents are not at all uncommon. Granted, some of these slip and fall cases are frivolous - set up by opportunists hard at work, or a figment of somebody's vivid imagination. And judgment as to the validity of these cases comes very much into play. However, some of these cases are very serious.

You can slip and fall in a number of different ways. You can be walking on or over a slippery floor, a dangerous stairwell, ice on the ground, cracks in the pavement, carpet that is split and worn, or many other things. Sometimes the owner of the property is at fault. Sometimes he or she isn't. It depends on the level of care taken in any given situation. Negligence could obviously be a factor - in other words, a property owner knew that a dangerous situation existed, but did nothing to rectify the situation.

It could be something so direct as a property owner actually causing such a dangerous condition. Or a subtle as the proposition that a hazardous condition should have been foreseen and discovered by the property owner.

You could be an innocent victim; someone who took reasonable care, where the property owner indeed did not. You can receive compensation for injuries sustained in these situations. If someone is negligent, you could be entitled to damages for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. You need to know your options. That's why you should call an experienced attorney. Fighting for you - that's what we do, at Ronaldson & Kuchler.
