Slip and Fall Lawyer In Montgomery

Your Montgomery County Slip And Fall Attorney

Slip and fall accidents are some of the most common types of accidents in the United States. They often cause serious injuries or even death. Slip and fall accidents are usually a result of dangerous conditions on property owned by another person or a business. If you or someone you care for has been injured or killed by a slip and fall on another individual or company’s premises due to unsafe conditions, you might be entitled to seek out compensation from the owner of the property.

There are many different causes of slip and fall accidents. Over two-thirds of them are caused by dangerous conditions that are allowed to exist on premises as a result of improper maintenance, poor design, or wet or slippery surfaces. The potential for slip and fall accidents is everywhere we go, including the homes of our friends and family, sidewalks, malls, grocery stores, public school buildings, hospitals, and anywhere else where floors, parking lots, or other walkways can become slippery, wet, icy, and dangerous.

In a slip and fall accident, an injury can occur at the moment when your front foot slips forward as you are walking and you fall backward. Or, your back foot can slip backward, causing you to fall forward. Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can be very traumatic for someone of any age, but they are especially dangerous for elderly individuals, who face the possibility of a life-threatening hip fracture from a fall. Serious falls can cause a long-term injury that can require a large amount of ongoing medical care and can seriously impair the injured party’s quality of life. If you’ve been in a slip and fall accident where you were injured in Montgomery County, you can get help with asking for fair compensation by scheduling a personalized case evaluation with the knowledgeable and experienced slip and fall attorney at Crichton Law.

How A Slip And Fall Attorney Can Hold The At-Fault Party Responsible

After your personalized case evaluation with Crichton Law, our esteemed slip and fall attorney will document the cause of your Montgomery County accident and identify the liable parties by interviewing any available witnesses, taking photographs of the scene, examining any relevant maintenance records or surveillance videos, and determining any additional owners, operators, or vendors who could possibly hold partial responsibility for the property’s safety conditions. In some slip and fall cases, it can be difficult to know right away who is responsible for the injuries sustained. For example, if the property in question is being leased, then the responsible party may not be the actual owner, but the lessee. If the owner or the lessee has a contract for maintenance with a third-party company, then that third-party company could also be responsible. Not only is there a legal limit on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit, there is also always the threat of important evidence disappearing while you wait. It is extremely important that you contact a slip and fall attorney in Montgomery County as soon after your accident as you possibly can, so that we can initiate a prompt investigation immediately.
