Slip, Trip
& Falls
Premises liability cases demand proof. We secure surveillance, incident reports, and expert testimony before evidence disappears.
Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail — whether through neglect, inadequate maintenance, or deliberate indifference — and someone is injured as a result, they are liable for the damages. These cases are deceptively simple in concept and fiercely contested in practice. The defense will argue you were at fault, the hazard was obvious, or the property owner had no notice. We dismantle each argument with evidence.
- Wet floors without warning signage
- Uneven sidewalks, potholes, and damaged walkways
- Poor lighting in stairwells and parking garages
- Missing or broken handrails on stairs and ramps
- Spilled merchandise and construction debris
- Defective elevators and escalators
- Ice and snow accumulation on walkways
The most critical evidence often disappears within days:
- Surveillance footage overwritten on a rolling basis
- Incident reports are lost or altered
- Maintenance logs are destroyed
- Hazards are repaired and documented as routine
- Witnesses are coached or discouraged
We move immediately to issue preservation letters to property owners and management companies, subpoena surveillance footage before it is deleted, inspect the accident scene with engineers and safety experts, and interview employees under oath about maintenance practices. We then document the full extent of injuries with medical specialists — from hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries to spinal damage and chronic pain. Our preparation leaves no room for the defense to minimize your claim.
We litigate against retail stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, hotels, office buildings, government entities, and private homeowners. Each venue presents unique evidentiary and legal challenges — and we have the experience to overcome them.
