Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents
……If you have suffered an injury due to a slip, trip or fall you
should consult with a personal injury attorney concerning that
event. Not all slip, trips or falls form the basis of liability
against a third party, but many of these incidents are not the
fault of the pedestrian or individual who has slipped, tripped
or fallen.
The Law Offices of John R. Vivian, Jr., has represented
many clients who were injured as a result of a slip, trip or fall.
Whether this occurs on a sidewalk, parking lot, stairs; or
whether the fall was occasioned by a slip on ice, snow, a fall
from a ladder, or caused by an irregularity on a walking
surface, these “simple” slip, trip and fall cases are anything
but, simplistic from a legal standpoint.
There are specific legal requirements regarding notice, the
type of defect, and engineering concepts, which play an
important role when analyzing a slip, trip or fall case.
Preservation and gathering of evidence in these cases is
crucial.
A full understanding of the kinetics involved with ambulation,
concepts of conspicuity, lighting, and warnings also play a
role in a proper analysis of a slip, trip or fall case. Falls from
ladders, scaffolds, or elevated surfaces also need to be
analyzed with exactitude in order assure that if you have a
right to recovery that your case in handled properly from the
start.
If you have been injured as a result of a slip, trip or fall under
any circumstances you should assure that an attorney
familiar with those types of personal injury cases analyzes
your potential case. You owe it to yourself to schedule a free
consultation.
