Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident? Know Your Rights
Slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries, ranging from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. If your fall happened due to someone else’s negligence, like a wet floor in a store or an icy sidewalk, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Redmond Law Firm, our experienced slip and fall attorneys are here to help you understand your rights and recover the damages you deserve.
What Qualifies as a Slip and Fall Case?
Slip and fall accidents fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners accountable when their negligence causes injuries. Common examples include:
- Wet floors without warning signs
- Uneven sidewalks or pavements
- Poor lighting in stairwells
- Loose carpets or floorboards
- Ice and snow that wasn’t properly cleared
You must prove the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to take reasonable action.
