Slip & Fall Injuries

PERSONAL INJURY REPRESENTATION

Helping People Injured in Dangerous Falls

Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries, particularly when dangerous conditions are not corrected or properly marked. Wet floors, uneven surfaces, broken flooring, defective stairs, loose mats, and other hazards can create preventable risks for customers, visitors, and tenants.

Hamed Law Firm represents people injured in falls caused by unsafe conditions on commercial, residential, and other properties.

We focus on identifying the condition that caused the fall, determining who was responsible for maintaining the area, preserving available evidence, and documenting the injuries and losses that resulted.

How We Approach a Slip & Fall Claim

1. Identify the Hazard

We review photographs, incident reports, witness information, surveillance footage when available, and other evidence showing the condition that caused the fall.

2. Determine Who Was Responsible

Responsibility may involve a property owner, business operator, tenant, management company, maintenance contractor, or another party responsible for the area.

3. Document the Injuries and Losses

We gather medical records, treatment information, lost-income documentation, photographs, and other evidence showing the impact of the injury.

4. Evaluate the Path Forward

We present the claim to the responsible parties and insurers, address disputes involving liability and damages, and evaluate further legal action when appropriate.

Focused Case Preparation

Slip and fall cases often depend on evidence showing what the dangerous condition looked like and how long it existed. Photographs, surveillance footage, incident reports, maintenance records, and witness information can be especially important.

HAZARD INVESTIGATION

We examine the condition that caused the fall and the available evidence showing how the incident occurred.

PROPERTY RESPONSIBILITY

We identify the individuals or businesses responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and correcting unsafe conditions.

INJURY DOCUMENTATION

We carefully document the medical treatment, financial losses, and other effects resulting from the fall.

What Should I Do After a Slip & Fall Accident?

Seek appropriate medical attention and report the incident to the property owner, business, or manager. If possible, photograph the exact condition that caused the fall before it is cleaned, repaired, or removed.

What Types of Conditions Can Cause Slip & Fall Claims?

Common hazards can include spills, wet floors, uneven pavement, loose flooring, broken stairs, defective handrails, torn carpeting, poor lighting, and other unsafe walking surfaces.

What If There Was a Warning Sign?

A warning sign can be relevant, but it does not automatically determine whether a property owner acted reasonably. The location, visibility, timing, and nature of the hazard can all matter.

What If the Dangerous Condition Was Cleaned Up After I Fell?

The condition can still be investigated through photographs, surveillance footage, incident reports, witness statements, maintenance records, and other evidence. Preserving information quickly can therefore be important.
