Over one million people in the United States experience a trip, slip, or fall each year that leads to a significant injury. Slip and falls are the most common reason for emergency room visits and the third largest cause of work injuries. On average, more than 16,000 deaths occur each year from these accidents.

Slip and fall injuries frequently require representation by a slip and fall attorney since determining fault can be very complicated. While money cannot compensate the trauma of a serious injury or death, you may be entitled to money damages for your injuries. The attorneys at the Pintas & Mullins Law Firm will fight for your rights to ensure that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries. With over two decades of experience in slip and fall cases, we have the knowledge and expertise to fight aggressively on your behalf.

Slip and fall injuries fall under the umbrella of premises liability law. Premises liability holds a property owner responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to a defect or a hazardous condition of the property. These injuries may occur anywhere from your local supermarket to a shopping mall to a sidewalk. Hazardous conditions may range from wet or uneven floors or due to inadequate lighting.

In the event of a slip and fall injury, it is important to see a medical provider right away to assess the extent of your injuries. Slip and falls may lead to very serious injuries such as brain injury, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, or fractures. It is also very important to determine the hazardous conditions that led to your injury, so photos of the area in which you were injured are beneficial to your case. Finally, contacting an experienced premises liability attorney will help you obtain the maximum compensation for your slip and fall injury.
