- Slip and Fall Claims
Advocating for Victims of Hazardous Property Conditions
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, often resulting in serious injuries that disrupt your life and finances. Property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe environments for visitors. When they fail to address hazards, they can be held liable for resulting injuries. At Regal Law Firm, we’re dedicated to helping slip and fall victims recover compensation for their injuries and losses.
What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, many of which involve negligence on the part of the property owner or manager. Common causes include:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Unmarked spills, recently mopped floors, or icy walkways.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or uneven flooring.
- Poor Lighting: Dimly lit areas that obscure hazards.
- Cluttered Walkways: Obstructions such as boxes, cords, or debris left in walking paths.
- Broken Stairs or Handrails: Unsafe staircases or missing handrails.
- Unsafe Carpeting or Rugs: Loose or torn carpeting that creates tripping hazards.
