Norristown Slip and Fall Accident Attorney

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can occur for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, this type of accident is the result of negligence on the part of a property owner or manager.

The following are just a few examples of ways in which you might be injured in a slip and fall accident because a property owner was careless:

• You slip on a spill or leak at a store that wasn’t cleaned up in a timely manner
• You trip over an obstruction in a parking lot that you couldn’t see at night due to insufficient outdoor lighting
• You trip over loose flooring on someone else’s property that should have been replaced
• You slip on a recently mopped floor because an employee didn’t put out a sign letting you know it was wet
• You slip on a patch of ice in a parking lot because no one applied a deicing agent after a winter storm

That’s not an exhaustive list. If you’re unsure of whether unreasonable negligence played a role in your slip and fall accident, review your case with a Norristown slip and fall accident lawyer for more information.

Slip and fall accidents can leave victims with such injuries as:

• Broken bones
• Dislocated bones
• Sprains

According to the CDC, falling accidents send approximately three million people to the emergency room in the United States alone. If you’re involved in a slip and fall accident, statistics indicate there’s a good chance you’ll sustain injuries requiring some form of medical treatment.

The treatment your injuries require after a slip and fall accident may be costly. Additionally, your injuries could remove you from the workforce until you make a full recovery. This will add to your financial stresses.

If your accident resulted from someone’s negligence, you can seek compensation for losses like medical bills, lost wages, and more by filing a claim with their insurance. It’s wise to enlist the help of a legal professional before doing so.
