Property and business owners have an obligation to keep premises safe for guests. If you slip and fall on another party’s property due to their negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and suffering.
The personal injury lawyers at the Frickey Law Firm know that slip and fall accidents can be severely disruptive to your life. We are experienced at holding negligent parties responsible and getting our clients justice in these types of cases.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Reasonable action must be taken by property and business owners to secure and repair hazardous conditions. The following are some examples of potentially dangerous circumstances that can lead to slip and fall injuries:
- Wet surfaces
- Cracked or uneven walkways
- Inadequate lighting
- Missing handrails on stairways
- Unmarked steps
- Spilled food or beverages
- Unsafe displays of products
- Uneven or damaged carpets or rugs
Whether you suffer a slip and fall injury on a business or private property, our attorneys will review the case and get to the bottom of who is at fault and if you are owed compensation.
Premises Liability Slip and Fall Cases

- Medical expenses – current and future
- Lost income due to time away from work
- Rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
