Premises Liability, Slip, Trip & Falls

Owners and operators of properties and facilities that are open to the public have a duty of care to keep their premises safe and in good repair. If they are negligent in this matter and you get injured because of it, the attorneys at Shulman & Hill are experienced personal injury law professionals who can aggressively pursue your right to compensation.

A wet floor in a store or an icy pathway are just two of the ways a slip and fall can occur. This type of accident can be the cause of broken bones, a head injury, or the exacerbation of a previously stable condition. The trauma of a fall can take a long time to heal. This means that you may need compensation for missed work, medical bills, rehabilitation and your pain and suffering.

If the absence, shortcomings, or malfunction of security measures are the reason that an assault happens, the owner of the property is liable for damages to the victims and their property.

Property maintenance is an ongoing responsibility for property owners and their managers. If they do not personally maintain their property, or hire someone to do it, conditions can deteriorate quickly. This leads to hazards such as escalator malfunction, ice buildup, and crumbling steps.
