What are slip and fall claims?

A slip, a trip and a fall can cause serious personal injuries. Because these claims fall under the larger category of what is called “premises liability” cases, the term “premises liability” is used here as well.

Be aware that these claims have strict timelines. If you wait too long to file a claim, you may lose your rights. Additionally, often there is physical and electronic evidence that needs to be preserved. If the evidence is not timely ordered to be preserved, it can be lost or destroyed. Therefore, it is very important that you do not delay speaking with a lawyer to protect your rights.

How can the right personal injury lawyer help me with my slip and fall case?

We are experienced lawyers, and we regularly handle slip and fall premises liability cases. We consult with experts in certain types of premises liability cases. For instance, in premises liability cases, we often consult with commercial safety experts, maintenance experts, accident reconstructionist, and zoning, code, and industry safety standard experts. We know how to ensure that evidence is preserved and how to investigate to determine if the premises were unsafe and all parties who may have been at fault. If you fell and were injured at a business or on another person’s property due to their negligence, you may be entitled to compensation and damages.

Depending on the specific facts and circumstances, you may be entitled to receive compensation for damages for: pain and suffering, loss in life’s pleasure, loss of consortium, disability and disfigurement, emotional suffering, and past and future medical costs and income losses.

What should I do if I suffered a slip and fall (premises liability) injury because of a property owner’s or business’ negligence?

There are several things you can do to protect your rights and interests. If you are able:

  • Report your fall to the business/property owner.
  • Never admit fault (the business/property owner may later try avoid their own responsibility by blaming you for the fall).
  • If possible, obtain the following information from the business/property owner: name, address, and phone number.
  • Document the accident. Obtain information from any witnesses who saw the fall. Take pictures of the area of your fall and your injuries. Photograph everything that you suspect caused the fall and all the dangers as well as any signs/warnings.
  • Promptly go to the hospital or doctor.
  • Inform your doctor of all your pain and injuries; provide as many details as you can.
  • If your pain continues or increases, keep your doctor informed.
  • Follow up on all treatment recommendations.
  • Call us immediately at 215-884-9300, and we will help you further.

Client Testimonials

When dealing with a personal injury case, it’s hard to decide who you can trust. I would definitely tell everyone that ThePhillyLawyers were the best. Everything was communicated well and easy to understand. Any questions that I had got an immediate response from the entire team - not just the wonderful Paralegal (Megan) but also from the attorney himself. Emmet was informative and understanding of everything that I experienced, and continued to experience, from my trauma. I felt that I was heard and not just another client in the midst of many. They fought for what they thought that I deserved. I will not hesitate to call them again if I ever have the need for a personal injury attorney in the future. I highly recommend their services.
