Do I Have a Slip & Fall Accident Injury Case?

If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, it is in your best interest to enlist the help of our Arkansas slip and fall attorneys:

Did your slip and fall occur in a business, store, medical facility, or government agency?
Did you trip or slip on an object that was out of place and increased the risk of the accident?
Were warning signs not present or not clearly visible near where you fell?
Could a warning have been placed to limit the risk of your accident?
Did insufficient lighting and/or security play a role in the accident or attack?
If you tripped on a carpet, floor, etc. or slipped on a wet and/or loose area, was the hazardous area there long enough that the responsible party should have fixed it?

Until you are injured, you may not understand the serious consequences a slip and fall accident can cause. There are many potentially life-changing issues that can result from a slip and fall accident, including:

Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Broken bones
Temporary or permanent disability

More than a quarter of all traumatic brain injuries (28%) result from falls, even more than car accidents. A slightly smaller percentage of spinal cord injuries are caused by falls (22%), but in persons over age 65, spinal cord injuries are most often caused by falls and are often a consequence of nursing home neglect.

A Property Owner’s Responsibility

Slip and fall lawsuits are considered a category of premises liability because it is a property owner’s responsibility to ensure that his or her property is safe for all visitors. This is especially true if the owner invites you to their property for the purpose of conducting business. Property owners not only have a responsibility to quickly correct any known hazards but to be vigilant for new or emerging hazards.

If you suffered a serious Personal Injury due to a slip and fall that could have been prevented you may be entitled to compensation for:

Past and future medical bills
Lost wages and diminished earning ability
Reimbursement for physical therapy and occupational therapy costs
Pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life

The amount and type of compensation you may receive will depend on your individual circumstances.
