Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Fall Injuries On Another’s Property

As you go about your day in Lancaster, you probably do not spend your time worrying about the ground in front of you. However, if you are on another person’s property, he or she should be concerned about the state of the surfaces where you walk. If you trip over an uneven or damaged floor, or slip on water or other substance, the fall could lead to serious injuries. When property owners, managers and other responsible parties do not take the proper care to ensure your safety, they may be held liable for the damages.

People who have sustained head trauma, broken bones or soft tissue injuries may benefit from calling the attorneys at Herr & Low, P.C. We serve clients who are entitled to compensation to ease the financial impact of a slip-and-fall accident.

Surfaces Should Be Monitored

While the manager of a store, a landlord or a cleaning company may not be able to prevent you from tripping on a clean, flat surface, or slipping on a spill that just occurred, there are many issues that they must address as soon as they are aware of them. These include the following:

  • Uneven flooring
  • Loose carpet
  • Poorly lit stairwells
  • Wet, icy or oily surfaces

These problems may be corrected with proper maintenance, attention to weather conditions and appropriate cleaning protocols, and should be addressed by the responsible party.

Any Injury May Be Serious

A severely strained ankle, unconsciousness, broken bone or obvious wound may prompt you to seek medical care at once. However, twisting your back or bumping your head may cause lasting harm that is not immediately noticeable. Even a mild concussion may cause permanent brain damage, and soft tissue injuries may be difficult to detect. You may not exhibit any serious symptoms for several hours, or even two or three days. Any time you trip or slip, you should continue to monitor your body for signs of an issue.
