Slip and Fall & Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors. When they fail to do so, accidents can happen—often resulting in serious injuries. Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability cases, and they can occur almost anywhere.
Common Causes:
Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
Broken or uneven surfaces, such as cracked sidewalks or torn carpets
Obstructions like cords, boxes, or debris in walkways
Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking areas
Defective stairs, ramps, or handrails
Snow and ice hazards that are not properly cleared
Malfunctioning elevators or escalators
Typical Injuries:
Sprains and strains
Fractures and broken bones
Head, neck, and back injuries, including concussions or spinal damage
Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
Severe or long-term injuries that affect daily life
Why Legal Action Matters:
Property owners are expected to take reasonable steps to prevent accidents. If negligence leads to your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
Lost income due to missed work
Pain and suffering
Long-term or permanent disabilities
Our Approach:
We understand that slip and fall accidents can have life-altering consequences. Our team works to thoroughly investigate your case, document hazards, and hold negligent property owners accountable. We fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, so you can focus on recovery.
Workplace Injuries (Non-Workers’ Compensation)
While most work-related injuries are covered under workers’ compensation, there are situations where an injured employee may have the right to pursue claims against a third party or other responsible parties outside the workers’ comp system. These cases often involve negligence by someone other than the employer.
Common Types of Workplace Injuries:
Construction site accidents – Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs; injuries from defective equipment or unsafe conditions.
Machinery or equipment accidents – Injuries caused by malfunctioning machines, lack of safety guards, or improper maintenance.
Chemical exposure – Burns, respiratory problems, or poisoning from unsafe handling of hazardous materials.
Vehicle-related accidents – Injuries occurring while driving a company vehicle or on the job due to third-party negligence.
Slip and fall incidents at work – Spills, wet floors, or obstacles that the employer or a third party failed to address.
Who Can Be Held Liable:
Third-party contractors or vendors – For example, a delivery company or equipment manufacturer whose negligence contributed to the accident.
Property owners – If the injury occurs on property not owned by the employer but used for work purposes.
Negligent co-workers – In certain cases, a co-worker’s intentional or reckless actions may result in liability.
Types of Injuries:
Broken bones, fractures, and sprains
Head injuries and concussions
Spinal injuries and nerve damage
Chemical burns or respiratory injuries
Long-term or permanent disabilities
Legal Considerations:
Third-party claims are often separate from workers’ compensation claims and can provide additional compensation for pain, suffering, or loss of enjoyment of life.
Documentation is critical: Incident reports, witness statements, medical records, and photos of the workplace help establish liability.
Statute of limitations: Timely filing is essential; laws vary by state.
Goal of Legal Action:
Recover damages not available under workers’ compensation, such as pain and suffering or loss of consortium
Hold negligent third parties accountable
Ensure fair compensation for lost wages, medical costs, and long-term care
Our Approach:
We understand that workplace injuries can be life-changing, especially when caused by negligence outside the employer’s direct control. Our team carefully investigates every detail, identifies responsible parties, and aggressively pursues full compensation for our clients.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another person or entity. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, the law allows surviving family members to seek compensation for their losses and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death:
Motor vehicle accidents – Car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accidents caused by negligent drivers.
Medical malpractice – Death resulting from misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or improper treatment.
Workplace accidents – Fatal injuries on the job, including construction site accidents or unsafe working conditions.
Defective products – Dangerous or faulty products, including pharmaceuticals or consumer goods.
Premises liability – Fatal injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, such as slip and fall incidents.
Criminal acts or intentional harm – Homicide or assault leading to death.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim:
Typically, close family members such as:
Spouses or domestic partners
Children or legal dependents
Parents of the deceased (in some cases)
Types of Damages Recoverable:
Economic damages: Medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income or support, loss of inheritance
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship or consortium
Punitive damages: In certain cases, where the responsible party’s actions were especially reckless or intentional
Legal Considerations:
Statute of limitations: Filing deadlines vary by state, so prompt action is crucial.
Burden of proof: The claimant must show that the death resulted directly from the defendant’s negligence or wrongful act.
Investigation: Thorough documentation of the accident, medical records, and expert testimony are essential to support the case.
Our Approach:
Losing a loved one is devastating. We approach wrongful death cases with compassion and diligence, ensuring families receive the justice and compensation they deserve. From investigating the circumstances to negotiating with insurers or pursuing litigation, we fight to hold negligent parties accountable while guiding clients through a challenging time.
Nursing Home Abuse & Elder Abuse
Elderly individuals and nursing home residents have the right to live in a safe, dignified, and respectful environment. Unfortunately, abuse and neglect in care facilities are all too common. When elders are harmed due to the negligence, mistreatment, or intentional acts of caregivers or facilities, families have the right to pursue legal action.
Common Types of Abuse and Neglect:
Physical abuse – Hitting, slapping, pushing, or inappropriate use of restraints.
Emotional or psychological abuse – Verbal threats, intimidation, humiliation, or isolation.
Sexual abuse – Any non-consensual sexual contact or harassment.
Neglect – Failing to provide adequate food, water, hygiene, medical care, or assistance with daily activities.
Financial exploitation – Theft, fraud, or misuse of the elder’s assets or funds.

Legal Considerations:
