Who Can You Sue After a Slip and Fall Accident?
After a slip and fall accident, you can seek compensation from any negligent party who directly caused your accident, injuries, and financial losses. Depending on your situation, your lawyer may file a claim against:
- The property owner
- A store, restaurant, or other business location
- A property manager
The key to finding the party or parties responsible for creating, noticing, or failing to fix the hazard that caused you to slip and fall often comes down to an investigation by a slip-and-fall accident lawyer. We’re ready to get to work on your case today.
What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?
Your slip and fall attorney can investigate to determine the precise cause of your accident. Our team can assist you if you slipped or tripped on:
- A spill of water, oil, grease, juice, or coffee
- Dropped or leftover food items
- Broken, cracked, or raised floor tiles;
- Loose rugs and mats
- Improperly stored supplies
Additionally, rain, snow, or ice can make walkways and floors slippery, especially if not properly maintained. Finally, inadequate lighting can make hazards hard to see, leading to slip-and-fall accidents.
Most slip-and-fall accidents are preventable with proper maintenance, active monitoring for hazards, prompt cleanup of spills and debris, and regular inspections. When businesses or property owners fail in these responsibilities, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
