Partner with an Experienced Slip and Fall Lawyer in Washington, DC Metro Region

A slip and fall lawyer can represent you if you were injured due to unsafe conditions on a private or public property. In order to make a premises liability claim, the following must be true:  

 

  • The guest was on the property legally  
  • The property owner was aware or reasonably should have been aware of the hazard 
  • The property owner negligently failed to remove the hazard or provide adequate warnings 
  • The hazard directly caused a guest to be seriously injured  

What is Premises Liability?

When you legally enter a property, whether it be a private residence or a public property such as a retail store, you have the right to assume that the property is reasonably safe. Property owners are legally responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their premises and addressing safety hazards appropriately. When they fail to uphold this duty, people can get seriously injured. This is the basis for any premises liability claim. 

 

While premises liability attorneys are often referred to as “slip and fall” attorneys, there are many types of injuries beyond slips that can constitute a premises liability claim. Premises liability injuries can be caused by a number of unsafe conditions, including:  

 

  • Wet floors with no warning signage 
  • Dangerous construction zones with no warning signage 
  • Cracked/broken flooring that causes someone to trip 
  • Poor lighting and/or lack of handrails in stairwells  
  • Improper maintenance of snow and ice on walkways 
  • Broken elevators/escalators  
  • Inadequate security that leads to assault 
  • Falling objects from high shelves/ceiling  
  • + More
