What Is Considered A Valid Slip-And-Fall Claim?

You can recover for injuries on public or private land, inside or outside and at a commercial or residential property. In the most general terms, you could have a valid claim for personal injury compensation anywhere there is an unsafe condition that causes you to suffer injury.

Can you do anything to protect your case? Yes! Essentially the same rules apply whether you slip on a property or are in a crash. Snap pictures on your cellphone, talk to witnesses and get their contact information.

Common dangerous or hazardous conditions include:

  • Cracked or uneven sidewalks
  • Ice or snow that has not been properly removed
  • Unsafe work sites
  • Spilled liquid or debris left in the aisles
  • Wet floors that lack warning signs
  • Slippery surfaces around pools
  • Uneven transitions between flooring
  • Overgrown plants that block visibility at intersections
  • Poorly designed parking lots
  • Dangerous playground structures
  • Railings that are flimsy or too short
  • Staircases that have rotten wood
  • Decks that are not properly attached
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Inadequate security measures

Do You Believe You Have A Premises Liability Claim? We Will Evaluate Your Case For Free.

You know you have been injured, but you might not know if you have a claim. That is OK. Do what you can to document the hazard, like taking pictures of the debris you tripped over, and call us. We can help you evaluate your case in a free initial consultation with a lawyer.

You won’t pay us any attorney fees unless we win your case and until you receive compensation. Call our offices at 219-265-6061 or send us an email to schedule your free consultation.
