By law, property owners have a duty of care to ensure their properties are safe for people. This includes maintenance, fixing defective or crumbling infrastructure, locating and removing or fixing hazards, treating walkways for inclement weather or slippery surfaces. Property owners carry insurance to protect themselves and compensate injured people when an injury occurs.

A person who breaks an ankle walking into a slippery grocery store is likely to incur significant past and future medical expenses, lost wages and potential long-term disabilities. Property insurance is there to protect both parties when a preventable slip and fall injury occurs. 

our claim could be disputed by the property owner or insurance company of the property owner. Consulting an attorney with experience in slip and fall cases is important to protect your legal rights and your case. In order to receive fair and just compensation for your economic (lost wages and past and future medical bills) and non-economic (pain and suffering) damages, it is important you consult with an attorney.
