Slip and Fall Accidents

Property Owner Negligence

If you have slipped or fell on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation. We recommend filing a liability claim. Any slick floors that cause these accidents are a direct result of property owner negligence.

The severity of your injury does not matter; you should seek out legal representation no matter how minor the accident. Ensure that you are getting the compensation you deserve by calling Thomas J. Reilly Law Firm P.C. at (515) 209-2854 today.

Common Hazards and Injuries:

• Spilled liquids
• Cracks or uneven flooring and walkways
• Poor lighting that obscures vision
• Holes
• Broken handrails on staircases and ramps
• Cluttered hallways

Any of these hazards can cause injury, and constitutes negligence. You need to have evidence, eyewitnesses, and legal guidance you can trust in order to secure compensation. The property owner is going to work with their insurance company and try everything in order to avoid being held accountable for your injuries. Successful cases can prove that:

• Something hazardous on the property caused your injury
• You did not create the hazard yourself
• The property owner knew the hazard existed and did nothing
• The hazard wasn't extremely obvious and suspicious

Weather Related Injuries

The winter time is when these injuries usually take place. Snow and ice can make sidewalks and roads very hazardous. If you slip on any melted snow or ice that should have been taken care of by the owner of the property, you should seek out legal guidance.
