How Trip & Fall Lawyers Will Help
Trip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, at any time. It is crucial to have an experienced lawyer on your side. A Trip and Fall lawyer will investigate the accident to determine who is responsible for your injuries. We will gather evidence, such as medical records, witness statements, and scene photographs. We will also review the property owner's insurance policy to determine available coverage.
We will then negotiate with the insurance company to try to reach a settlement. We will file a lawsuit on your behalf if a settlement cannot be reached.
We'll Stand by You Every Step of the Way
Who Is Liable for My Injuries?
The liable party in a trip and fall case will depend on the circumstances of the accident. For example, if you tripped and fell at a store, the store may be liable for your injuries. This is because they are responsible for keeping their floors safe for customers. On the other hand, if you trip and fall on a cracked sidewalk, the city or municipality may be liable. This is because they are responsible for maintaining safe sidewalks. In some cases, multiple parties may be liable for your injuries.
The experienced personal injury attorneys at Langella & Langella can help determine who is responsible for your injuries.
What Causes Trip & Fall Accidents?
There are many different factors that can contribute to a trip and fall accident. Some of the most common include:
Loose Carpet or Flooring
This is one of the most common causes of trip and fall accidents. If a carpet is not properly installed, it can bunch up and cause people to trip.
Uneven Surfaces
Uneven surfaces can be caused by things like cracked sidewalks or potholes in parking lots. These uneven surfaces can cause people to trip and fall.
Poor Lighting
If an area is not well-lit, it can be difficult to see potential hazards. This can lead to people tripping and falling over things they cannot see.
Objects in the Way
Another common cause of trip and fall accidents is objects in the way. For example, people can trip and fall if there is clutter on the floor or cords running across a room.
