Types of slip and fall accidents

Negligence is to blame for most slip and fall accidents. Injuries often include head trauma, back injuries, broken bones and neck injuries. Below are examples of slip and fall accidents our lawyers handle regularly:

  • Ice. Property owners must remove ice from their premises. If they cannot remove the ice, they must place adequate warnings signs alerting visitors of the hazard.
  • Food spills. Slip and falls caused by food spills typically occur in restaurants, grocery stores and shopping malls.
  • Poorly lit stairwells. In some cases, a slippery surface or floor obstruction is not to blame. Navigating through a poorly lit stairwell can be difficult and can lead to a slip and fall accident. If you suffer injury because of poor lighting, contact our reputable team of slip and fall attorneys.
  • Uneven pavement. Uneven pavement and sidewalk slabs are perilous for pedestrians.
  • Faulty handrails. It is the responsibility of property owners to ensure their premises are well maintained and free of hazards. This includes inspecting handrails to make sure they can sustain the weight of users.

Time may be running out

After suffering a slip and fall injury, it is vital that you speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. The statute of limitations for Pennsylvania is two years. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to take legal action. After this time has passed, you may be barred from obtaining compensation.
