Despite having garnered an almost satirical nature in recent times, slip and fall type accidents remain a serious source of personal injury across the country. Slip and fall accidents are primarily the result of wet, uneven, or messy floors. This dangerous surface can be in a public place such as a park, store, or sidewalk or on another person’s private property. The risk of a slip and fall accident may be more prevalent than most may think with over 20,000 of them occurring each year, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Contact our expert Alabama slip and fall accident attorneys today if you have been the victim of one of these accidents. Our top trial injury lawyers will make sure your voice is heard and won’t back down until justice is served.
Premises Liability Attorneys
Slip and fall accidents fall under a section of tort law known as premises liability. In layman’s terms, this simply means that the owner or maintainer of an area needs to keep said area reasonably safe to those that may visit or frequent the property. Failure to maintain a safe area can result in slip and fall accidents, of which the owner of the property or lot may be responsible for. Examples of unsafe conditions that cause Alabama slip and fall accidents, but not limited to, are:
- Unmarked, Wet Floors
- Rubbish Left of Floors
- Uneven Sidewalks
- Loose Carpeting
- Uneven Stairs
- Faulty Handrails
- Exposed Hoses or Wires
These accidents can literally occur at any place — at any time. Primarily the burden of proof largely falls on the victim in a slip and fall accident case. Due to this, it is important to document as much of the scene as possible after your injury. Take photos of the conditions of the area and speak to witnesses if possible. Once you are able to, contact our law office as soon as possible to start the process of filing your claim against the negligent party responsible.
