When an individual is injured by slipping, tripping, or falling on another’s property, negligence on the part of the property owner or manager may be grounds for a personal injury claim. It may be proven that the accident was the result of a hazard or defective condition on that individual’s property. If another’s negligence was the cause of your injury, it can be considered a personal injury, and you can file a premises liability claim for compensation. At Gonzales Law Offices, we can handle slip and fall cases that are the result of water, broken or uneven flooring, poor lighting, or other conditions that could lead to an accident. When snow or ice accumulates on a walkway and is not dealt with by the owner, serious injuries could result.
