Slips, Trips, and Falls
Slips, trips, and falls are common accidents that happen every day, so it’s understandable that people tend to brush them aside. The injury is often mild, if there is one, and it is easy enough to laugh about it and continue on.
Unfortunately, some slip and fall accidents can be very serious – leading to serious injuries, and serious consequences.
If you were hurt in a slip and fall accident, you may have piles of medical bills. You may have missed work time, and your life may have changed forever.
Our Pennsylvania attorneys understand that this wasn’t something you planned, and that it may have been impossible to prevent. We know how difficult it can be to process and understand the situation, and we’re here to support and help you.
Don’t assume it was your fault. It’s important to remember that another company, business, or person may be responsible for causing your injuries, and you may have what’s called a “premises liability” case. You may deserve compensation for everything you’ve been through, and our goal is to make sure you get the money you need.
Slip and Fall Accidents – Causes
Slip and fall accidents are some of the most frustrating because they can happen anywhere. Something as simple as going to the grocery store could turn into a trip to the emergency room. Common places that slips, trips, and falls occur include:

- Homes of family, friends, and neighbors
- Driveways, parking lots, and parking garages
- Public restrooms, gyms, and pools

- Restaurants, bars, and clubs
- Work or the location of work-related duties

Did you have a slip and fall accident due to bad weather conditions such as ice or snow? Did you trip over a raised manhole cover? Was your fall caused by cracked or unstable flooring or an unsafe walkway?
Our experienced Pennsylvania lawyers have seen accidents caused by many different circumstances. If any of these circumstances sound familiar, you may have a case.
