Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall Accidents

You deserve to be safe whether you’re visiting a private residence, a retail shop, restaurant, government building or any other type of building. Laws exist outlining what the owners or occupiers are liable for, thus the name “occupier’s liability.”

If you have sustained an injury as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall caused by a poor or negligent condition on a property, you may be entitled to slip and fall accident settlements. The injuries you have sustained can range from minor, such as bruising, to serious in nature, such as a spinal cord injury. The incident can affect you temporarily, or have life-altering consequences.

Sam Parlatore at Parlatore Law is highly experienced in representing victims seeking slip and fall accident settlements from occupier’s liability claims. While seemingly straightforward, claims of this nature are dependent upon many factors including, but not limited to, where the incident occurred, who owns or occupies the property, and the extent of your injuries. Your injury maybe has been the result of:

• Broken/uneven flooring
• Falling merchandise
• Improper snow and ice removal
• Lack of warning signs and caution notices
• Poor lighting
• Sharp edges
• Slippery surfaces or wet floors without signage
• Slippery sidewalks and parking lots (failure to salt/sand)
• Weak guardrails/handrails on staircases

Each of these situations has its own complexities when seeking compensation. Sam Parlatore at Parlatore Law is experienced and knows the complexities these claims entail.
