Baltimore Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers

Slip and fall accidents can have serious consequences. If you slip on a wet floor at the grocery store, trip over a hazardous, unmarked step, or fall on an uneven stairwell, you may suffer from serious injuries and losses. Unfortunately, many of these disabling accidents could have been prevented had property owners or managers not neglected to create a safe, hazard free area for guests, patrons, and shoppers.

Thousands of people are injured every year by slips, trips, and falls caused by someone else’s careless actions. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, the person who owns the property may be responsible for your injuries.

Types of Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen virtually anywhere. In legal terms, these types of accidents usually fall under the category of premises liability. Legally, property owners are liable for the safety of guests to their property and must ensure that no guests will be harmed during their visit. Therefore, owners of stores, restaurants, commercial buildings, and homes are legally responsible for the injuries guests sustain while on the property.

Examples negligent actions committed by property owners that may cause slip and fall accidents include:

Failure to warn of a slippery surface
Failure to warn of a non-obvious step or steep drop
Failure to remove dangerous obstacles
Failure to secure swimming pools to prevent unauthorized use by children

Victims of slip and fall accidents should not be forced to face their injuries alone. With the help of an experienced Baltimore trip and fall attorney, injured victims may be able to secure the fair compensation they need for their losses from the party responsible for their accident.
