Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents

How unsafe conditions can change your life

A slip and fall accident involves more than tripping or stubbing your toe. These accidents are tragic when they result in severe or permanent injuries. Sadly, some slip and fall accidents result in death.

A slip and fall accident involving negligence is frustrating and upsetting. Another person’s negligence that causes you to lose your footing can result in life-altering harm.

Negligence is never acceptable and certainly almost always preventable. The following examples include common causes of slip and fall accidents caused by careless property owners:

• Wet floors
• Torn carpet
• Poor lighting
• Cords across walkways
• Stairs with no handrail.

These conditions can exist in various locations, such as parking lots, restaurants, stores, and job sites. However, the results are generally devastating for victims no matter where they happen.

A slip and fall accident can result in one or more of the following injuries:

• Bone fractures
• Internal injuries
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord damage
• Neck and back injuries.

Any one of these injuries can prevent you from returning to work for a long time — if ever. Medical bills begin to mount almost immediately.

An injury to the spinal cord can cost millions of dollars throughout a victim’s lifetime. Unfortunately, this is one example of how financial stress rarely disappears. The financial impact, in addition to your physical, emotional, and psychological harm, can devastate you. Accountability is a must when these changes to your quality of life are the result of negligence.

A Dallas slip and fall injury lawyer may be able to help you fight for compensation. Your damages demand justice. A free case consultation can help you learn if you have a case and, if so, how to proceed.

The harmful effects of a slip and fall accident can last forever. So hold those responsible accountable with help from Crain Brogdon, LLP.

How Crain Brogdon Can Help You

At Crain Brogdon, we waste no time getting to work on behalf of accident victims. From investigating the accident to identifying all parties responsible, we hit the ground running.

Your premises liability lawyer will investigate your accident to determine what the property owner knew and when they knew it. They will then build a case to hold the property owner accountable for your damages.

Accepting an invitation to visit a new store or dine at a restaurant should not result in severe injuries. You accept the invitation assuming the property is safe, and you are free from harm.

Your Dallas slip and fall lawyer will work to prove that:

• A hazard existed on the property.
• The property owner knew about the hazard but failed to repair or remove the hazard.
• The hazard existed so long that the property owner should have known about it.
• The property owner owed you a duty of care and breached that duty.

Supplying your slip and fall lawyer with as much evidence as possible is how you can help your case. Accident scene photos and medical reports are just two examples of vital evidence.

Time is of the essence due to the statute of limitations. So if you suffered severe injuries due to a slip and fall accident or lost a loved one, seek help from a slip and fall lawyer today. Contact Crain Brogdon immediately if you suffered severe injuries due to a preventable slip and fall accident.
