SLIP AND FALL & PREMISES LIABILITY

Understand the hazard and the circumstances.

A slip-and-fall claim calls for a close look at the property, the condition involved, and the circumstances of the injury. Jon handles premises liability matters involving stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, and other properties. The review considers both how the incident happened and the information needed to assess responsibility.

What the review can address

• Wet floors, uneven pavement, poor lighting, and other alleged hazards.
• Conditions in business premises and apartment common areas.
• Maintenance, inspection, notice, and warning information relevant to the incident.
• Photographs, witness accounts, reports, and other available scene evidence.
• The injury, medical treatment, and income lost as a result.

Connect the property evidence to the injury.

The legal questions and the practical effects of the fall need attention together. A conversation can identify the property involved, the condition you encountered, and the records that may help evaluate a claim. From there, discuss the investigation and next steps the matter may require.

A fall on someone else's property does not automatically establish liability. Responsibility depends on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
