Common Premises Liability Hazards
We have represented clients injured due to hazards such as:
- Uneven sidewalks, cracked pavement, or hidden drop-offs
- Dangerous steps, missing handrails, or broken stair treads
- Wet or slippery floors (including grocery stores and retail entrances)
- Icy steps, icy sidewalks, and poorly maintained parking lots
- Inadequate security resulting in foreseeable injuries
Property owners and operators generally have a duty to take reasonable steps to keep premises safe and to warn of non-obvious dangers. Slip and fall claims often turn on evidence—photos, witness statements, maintenance logs, incident reports, and surveillance footage.
What To Do After a Slip and Fall
- Report the incident and request an incident report (if applicable).
- Document the hazard with photos/video (including lighting, warning signs, and the surrounding area).
- Get witness information (names and phone numbers).
- Seek medical care and follow up—gaps in treatment can be used against you.
- Preserve evidence, including your shoes and any clothing worn at the time.
- Avoid recorded statements or signing documents before you understand your rights.
