GTH slip and fall attorneys help you secure fair compensation for your injuries
Every year, thousands of innocent people are severely injured through no fault of their own when they slip and fall from unsafe conditions on public and private properties.

Injured accident victims often don’t know that negligent property owners have a duty of care to prevent slips and falls on their property. Poorly constructed sidewalks, railings, stairways, escalators, driveways, parking lots, ramps and doorways, or inclement weather conditions can all create preventable hazards to innocent people who slip and fall.
Slip and fall injuries can cause serious permanent injuries that not only cause pain and suffering, but create lifelong disabling injuries that prevent the future enjoyment of life and activities.
