Personal Injury

Slip & Fall

Slip, trip, and fall accidents injure millions of people every year. Tragically, about 17,000 victims die from their injuries, and hundreds of thousands more suffer permanent disabilities.

Common Causes of Falls

Every fall has a cause. Many are the result of dangerous property conditions, such as:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Cracks or uneven surfaces in sidewalks and walkways
  • Poorly designed or broken steps
  • Missing or defective handrails
  • Hidden defects in flooring or ground surfaces
  • Black ice and improper snow or ice removal
  • Unsafe doors, entrances, or walkways
  • Defective or unsafe building conditions
  • Poor water drainage creating slippery surfaces
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Unsafe work environments, including roof, scaffold, or ladder accidents

Pennsylvania Premises Liability Law

Under Pennsylvania law, businesses and homeowners are required to keep their property safe for visitors. If a person or business fails to maintain safe conditions, and someone is injured as a result, a negligence claim may be brought against:

  • The property owner
  • A tenant or business operator
  • The maintenance company
  • In some cases, a government agency responsible for the property
