Slip & Fall Lawyer Serving Fort Worth

About Slip & Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, often resulting in injuries which can include leg, neck and back injuries, as well as fractures and even head injuries.  Sometimes "trip and falls" are included when referring to slip and falls, which are similar in that someone trips over something and then falls. When a slip and fall occurs at someone else's premises, you may have the right to pursue a claim against the owner of the premises if any negligence was involved that caused the accident.  Common reasons for slip or trip and fall accidents include:

• Spilled liquids that were not cleaned up
• Failure to properly mark a wet area
• Damaged stairs leading to a fall
• Damaged pavement in a parking area causing a trip and fall
• Poor lighting causing a trip and fall
• Aisle ways cluttered with merchandise, resulting in a trip and fall

Owners of businesses have a duty to maintain their premises in order to protect their clientele. If you were at someone else's premises and there was a lack of proper care taken in the maintenance of the premises, negligence can possibly be attributed to the accident.  To determine what legal options you may have against the premises owner for your injury, contact an experienced personal injury attorney from the Malaise Law Firm in Fort Worth to discuss your claim.
