When you slip and fall due to someone else's negligence, the property owner is usually the one legally responsible for your injuries. The lawyers at Sinoway McEnery Messey & Sullivan, PC will protect your rights if you are hurt when you slip on ice and snow in a parking lot, fall on a wet floor in a store, trip on uneven or defective stairs, or slip on debris on the floor at a grocery store or restaurant. We will give you a free confidential case evaluation so you understand your rights after a slip and fall injury.
We work on contingency which means there is no fee and you pay no costs unless we first obtain a recovery from those responsible. In a trip or slip and fall case it is important to go to the location of the fall to take pictures and measurements of the scene. This can be essential to show the fault of the property owner in a fall down case, because we need to show the defective condition that caused your fall.
Children are injured in many falls, but unlike adults, children are usually injured in a fall from some height, such as from playground equipment. Older adults and seniors are often involved in slip and fall type accidents in parking lots, restaurants, supermarkets, shopping centers, health care facilities, at the home of a friend or neighbor, and even in their own homes. A serious problem for this age group is the degree of injury-often a fractured hip or even death.
