Slip and Fall Accidents

Despite common misconceptions, an unexpected fall on a hard surface can lead to serious personal injuries. More than one million people visit the emergency room each year due to slip and fall incidents, which are a leading cause of injury across all age groups. After a slip or trip and fall, you may be unsure of what caused your accident.

The experienced attorneys at McCulloch Law, P.A. can investigate your fall, gather evidence, and guide you through the process of filing a slip and fall or trip and fall claim. Many incidents are preventable if property owners maintain their premises safely and monitor for hazards.

Whether you’re a customer in a business or walking on a public sidewalk, the entity responsible for the property owes you a duty to keep you reasonably safe, except in the case of trespassers. The duty owed depends on whether you are an invitee or a licensee. Our attorneys can evaluate your claim and advise on the specific duty owed to you.

After a slip and fall accident, notify the store or property manager and request an incident report, making sure to get the manager’s full name and a copy of the report. Document the scene and your injuries with photographs. Seek medical treatment promptly to both receive care and properly document your injuries. Do not speak to the property owner’s insurance company or risk management department without an attorney — they may try to settle quickly to minimize their liability.
