When A Fall Is Not “Just An Accident”
Falling down does not always mean someone else is to blame. But if your injury happened because a property owner ignored a dangerous condition, they may be legally responsible under Pennsylvania law.
Common causes of slip-and-fall claims include:
- Wet or uneven surfaces in businesses or public areas
- Uncleared ice and snow on private or commercial property
- Broken handrails or loose stairs in rental housing
- Poor lighting in parking lots or hallways
Either way, no cause should justify someone’s negligence toward your injuries.
Injuries That Often Follow Slip-And-Fall Accidents
They include:
- Hip fractures or pelvic injuries
- Head trauma or concussions
- Back and spinal injuries
- Broken wrists, arms or ankles
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
No matter the injury type, get our lawyers’ help because it matters in strengthening your personal injury claim case.
