Connecticut Slip-and-Fall Accident Attorney
Property owners, both public and private, have a legal duty to maintain their properties safely to prevent unreasonable risks of injury to visitors. This principle, known as premises liability, often comes into play in slip-and-fall accidents, which are among the most common types of premises liability lawsuits.
Owners of public and private property have a legal duty to keep their properties reasonably safe, so that visitors do not run an unreasonable risk of injury. This concept is known as premises liability, and slip-and-fall accidents are the most common form of premises liability lawsuit.
Slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents have many causes:
- Failure to shovel or salt snow and ice
- Slippery substances on floors
- Broken sidewalks or defects in pavement
- Failure of elevators to level properly
- Stairways that are not constructed or maintained according to standard building codes
- Poor lighting in stairways or at exits
If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, it is important to seek independent legal advice as soon as possible. Lawsuits based on slip and fall accidents are known to be difficult to prove; the sooner your attorney can begin working on your case, the better your chance of success.
