Owner Negligence Is A Major Cause Of Slips, Trips And Falls

Slip-and-fall accidents often result in severe injuries such as back/neck trauma, head injuries and broken bones. Common hazardous conditions that can cause falls include:

  • Icy/poorly maintained surfaces
  • Wet floors without warning signs
  • Loose carpeting/rugs
  • Poor lighting
  • Cracked/uneven walking surfaces
  • Cluttered walkways
  • Lack of handrails on stairways

These hazardous conditions often result from an owner failing to maintain the premises properly. However, before pursuing a premises liability claim, an experienced lawyer must establish that one or more of these hazards directly caused your slip-and-fall incident and injuries.

Duty Of Care And Proving Liability

After establishing the hazardous condition that led to your accident, the lawyer must then prove the following:

  • The property owner owed you a duty of care.
  • The owner knew or should have known about the unsafe condition.
  • The owner’s failure to address that condition caused your injuries.

Our Maryland slip-and-fall attorney gathers evidence like witness statements, photo/video documentation, medical records and more to demonstrate that the owner’s negligence caused the dangerous condition and your injuries. Strong proof that the owner breached their duty and that you are not to blame for the accident is crucial for a successful premises liability claim.
