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 “occupiers’ liability.”
If you have sustained an injury as a result of a slip and fall caused by the condition of the 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.
Our lawyers at Graves and Richard are highly experienced in representing victims seeking slip and fall accident settlements from occupiers’ 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. Our slip and fall accident lawyers at Graves and Richard are experienced and know the complexities these claims entail.
