Slips and Falls / Dangerous Premises

Personal injury occurs every year as a result of accidents which arose out of poorly maintained properties. These accidents occur in rental outlets, restaurants, dance clubs, and other businesses which may not maintain a reasonable system of maintenance and inspection, which would provide a safer environment. Victims are injured as a result of highly slippery floor surfaces, fallings as a result of ice and snow, traps such as pot holes and broken pavement, store displays, loose carpet, protruding objects and areas under repair. If you have been injured out of situations  such as these, a call to a Kingston injury lawyer might be a wise decision.

Home owner negligence, retail store owner negligence, property management company negligence, and construction repair negligence are often the reasons why people are injured. Falling snow and ice from roofs and overhangs, falling debris from buildings, cracked sidewalks, stairways with broken boards, ice on walkways and driveways, can cause broken ankles, arms, concussions, and even more debilitating injuries. Too many property owners do not take the time or concern to ensure their property is safe for pedestrians. That negligence is what leads to slips and falls. For elderly persons, a slip and fall can be very debilitating and even life threatening. If you or a family member have been injured in a slip or fall at a retail establishment you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering.

It is difficult to deal with the courts and an insurance company on your own. Consult with a professional accident lawyer with experience with all types of accidents including slips and falls.

There are time limits regarding when you can take legal action against a negligent party. If the negligent party was a government agency, you may have a very short time to commence legal action. If you have been seriously injured by someone else’s negligence including on dangerous premises, you may be entitled to seek damages and compensation. Van Dyke Law Office can provide you with a free legal consultation to review the details of your slip and fall accident and injuries.
