Slip and Fall Accidents

Our lawyers represent people and their families seriously injured in slip and fall accidents. Property owners, landlords, property managers and places of business including grocery stores, shopping malls, gas stations, bars, nightclubs and hotels, have a duty to their visitors and customers to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. They have a duty to inspect the property from time to time to make sure that no hazards or defects exist. If a dangerous condition is detected, the property owner has to take reasonable measures to repair or eliminate the hazard. With regards to snow and ice, a property owner must remove snow and ice from driveways, walkways and parking lots within a reasonable time after the snow fall ends.
