Slip, Trip & Fall

Slip or trip and fall accidents can often result in serious injuries, like broken bones, concussions, and torn ligaments and muscles. They can occur on uneven sidewalks, slippery floors, defective stairways, and unshoveled walkways, among other dangerous walking surfaces. Besides painful injuries, these falls can leave the victim with substantial medical expenses and lost wages or reduced earning capacity.

Property owners generally are responsible for maintaining their premises in a safe condition. However, there are different duties of care depending on various factors, such as whether the fall occurred on a commercial or residential property and whether the injured person was an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.

If you’ve suffered a serious injury in a fall, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Consult with an attorney at Ruggieri Law Offices, LLC to learn your rights.
