    Why You Need a Lawyer

    The key to premises liability claims for slip and fall accidents is to establish liability. In this situation, liability means that another person or company was responsible for the conditions that caused your injuries. It may sound simple, but there are critical legal elements that need to be established to prevail in these types of claims. Attorneys are highly educated in the law, and they know how to present the kinds of evidence that will give you the best chance of success at recovering maximum compensation.

    In order to hold another party responsible for your injuries, you must prove that they recognized a dangerous condition that they should have repaired or that they caused the dangerous condition that led to your accident. These elements can be laid out in your claim to prove negligence, which establishes that the business or property owner owed you a duty of care and their breach of that duty caused your accident. It may sound confusing, but the experienced Cincinnati premises liability attorneys at Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC know exactly how to establish what you need to build a successful claim so that you can recover compensation for your injuries.

    Cases We Handle

    Slip and Fall Attorneys in CincinnatiLawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC frequently deals with personal injury cases, including slips and falls. The most common types of slip and fall cases occur when a property owner or maintenance worker fails to keep their property in a safe condition. In Ohio, we have laws that outline how landowners must maintain their properties to keep them safe for customers, visitors, and guests. These laws apply to both business owners and homeowners. When a landowner fails to maintain or repair their property, and it leads to a slip and fall injury, they are negligent and can be held liable by compensating you for the injuries you sustain.

    The most common types of slip and fall cases are:

    • Indoor slip and falls: Indoor slip and fall accidents are most commonly caused by liquid spills or remnants of cleaning solution on a hard floor surface. The wet surface closely resembles ice and becomes excessively slippery. These accidents can usually be prevented with the use of cautionary signs to warn of the wet surface. Failure of a business establishment to display a warning sign or to promptly and adequately clean up a spill can be used as evidence to establish their negligence.
    • Outdoor slip and falls: Outdoor slip and fall accidents are generally caused by inadequate lighting, weather conditions (rain, snow, or ice), or hazardous debris that can cause people to trip, fall, and become injured. In the same way that indoor accidents can be prevented with signage, outdoor accidents can also be prevented with visible warnings, and property owners have a duty to repair any hazardous conditions they know about. The failure to warn or repair promptly can lead to the property owner’s liability for your injuries.
    • Shopping injuries: There are a number of common shopping hazards that cause slip and falls beyond liquids on hard surfaces. Shopping carts can tip over; objects can fall from overhead shelves, stores can be overcrowded and cause shoppers to fall and be trampled, and more. These injuries can be quite serious and have increased risks of head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and more. Store owners must abide by premises liability laws that require them to exercise reasonable care to ensure that their store is reasonably safe from hidden, anticipating some potential dangers, such as large crowds during holiday sales.

    If you or a loved one has suffered injuries from these types of accidents or any other slip, trip and fall incidents, an experienced lawyer at Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC can advise you on how to proceed with a claim.
