Slip-And-Fall Injuries
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions
Advocating for Slip-and-Fall Victims
If you were injured by slipping or tripping on commercial property, the property owner might be legally responsible for your medical bills and other losses. However, handling the matter yourself is not advisable.
The personal injury lawyers at West Valley Accident Attorneys know how to preserve evidence and fight for full and fair compensation. We act quickly to assess claims involving slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents.
Our Goodyear, Arizona-based law firm handles premises liability cases throughout the West Valley and Greater Phoenix. Call us today at (602) 834-0673 for a free consultation.
Experienced Premises Liability Lawyers
Property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. However, being injured on someone else’s property doesn’t automatically entitle you to compensation. To bring a successful premises liability claim, you must prove:
- A safety hazard existed
- The owner or management knew about it or should have known
- The hazard was ignored or left unaddressed
Many slip-and-fall victims don’t know their rights or fail to pursue claims, often assuming the property owner will “do the right thing.” Unfortunately, property owners often address the hazard and deny liability after being notified.
West Valley Accident Attorneys has successfully pursued claims against property owners, including supermarkets, retail stores, shopping malls, restaurants, parking lots, apartment complexes, and other businesses. In some cases, homeowners or municipalities may also be held liable.
Taking Slip-and-Fall Injuries Seriously
Slip-and-fall accidents often get a bad reputation due to false claims, but we know that these incidents can cause life-altering injuries, such as:
- Head trauma or facial injuries
- Broken legs, hips, or wrists
- Knee injuries
We work quickly and thoroughly to document negligence and calculate damages, including medical care, future surgeries, lost wages, permanent disabilities, and pain and suffering.
Identifying Dangerous Property Conditions
Our attorneys act swiftly to document hazards and gather witness testimony before property owners can fix or cover up problems. Common unsafe conditions include:
- Spilled liquids or slippery substances
- Torn carpets or raised flooring
- Potholes or uneven concrete
- Missing handrails or poor lighting in stairwells
- Building code violations or exposed wiring
