Slip and Fall

Slip and fall image

Slip and Fall incidents in the retail setting are becoming a common occurrence. Often times these accidents are due to the negligent conduct of businesses owners and their employees. Examples of the businesses involved in these types of cases are grocery stores, retail stores, apartment complexes, amusement parks, parking lots, etc. We have recently settled a case against a nationally known chain restaurant for negligent lighting. We have also recently been retained by an individual who was injured at an apartment complex when the concrete stairway fell in and by a client who was injured at an amusement park parking lot. Frequently, these types of businesses will have improper maintenance, upkeep, and management.

Hazards in business areas can lead to injuries to guests. These injuries are often severe, requiring medical care and sometimes surgery. In the instance that an individual has been injured due to the negligence of another, they may be able to recover monetary damages for their injuries.

Slip and Fall Details

The success of these types of cases depends on a variety of issues. Normally you must show that the people in control of the premises knew or should have known of the dangerous hazard that existed. You yourself cannot be more at fault, in not paying attention to what you are doing, than the people in control of the premises. In order to determine if you have a case, you need an experienced Columbus Ohio injury lawyer to review the facts of your case.

What to do if you have been involved in a slip and fall accident

If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident, it is important to first determine the severity of your injuries and call 911 if needed. After the proper medical personnel has arrived and given appropriate treatment, ask a friend to take pictures of the items or defect that caused the accident. Also, have the friend speak with any witnesses to the incident and to try and get their contact information. Make sure you file a report and notify the property owner or the person in control of the premises that you were injured. Finally, make sure to have your friend write down all information regarding the area, location, and building where the incident occurred.
