Queens Slip and Fall Injury Attorneys
When an individual invites guests to his or her personal property, the property owner has a certain responsibility to uphold. Under United States law, property owners are responsible for ensuring the safety of their guests. This legal policy is called premises liability.
Slip and fall accidents are common causes of serious injuries and premises liability lawsuits. If you or someone you love suffered a slip and fall injury while visiting someone’s private property, contact the Queens slip and fall lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 to learn if your case qualifies for a lawsuit.
Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
On personal or public property, a number of conditions may lend themselves to slip and fall accidents. A property owner can handle these conditions in two ways. If possible, he or she should correct the potentially dangerous conditions. If this is not possible, he or she needs to clearly warn guests about the problem and how to avoid it.
When property owners fail to take these steps, they can sometimes be held responsible for any injuries that result. For example, a property owner may be responsible for injuries that result from conditions such as:
- Lack of necessary warning signs
- Loose tiles or carpeting
- Inadequate lighting
- Slick puddles or spills that have not been cleaned
Any of these factors may make a property owner liable for injuries that occur on his or her property. If you have suffered a slip and fall injury because of negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries.
