Property owners, including governmental entities, are responsible for maintaining safe premises. This obligation includes removing tripping hazards or sufficiently alerting pedestrians to their presence. Tripping hazards include improperly installed or maintained sidewalks, unexpected steps up or down, construction or street repair areas and other uneven surfaces. Inadequate lighting can also lead to trip and fall accidents. These accidents can happen in stores, parking lots, sports complexes, apartment buildings, private residences, on public sidewalks – virtually anywhere we walk during our daily activities. Tripping and falling can result in broken bones, dislocated joints, traumatic brain injury and even death.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a tripping hazard, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Our skilled trial lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
