Slip and fall injuries are uniquely infuriating. Falls of all types frequently result in severe injuries, including head trauma, spine injuries and bone fractures. People are often forced to miss weeks or months of work while they are recovering – assuming they do eventually make a full recovery. In some cases, people involved in slip and falls are forced to cope with their injuries for the rest of their lives.

One of the most galling realities of slip and fall injuries is that they are preventable. By their nature, these injuries only occur because a property owner or business failed to maintain a safe premises. This could be due to poorly trained workers, a lack of supervision or inattentiveness and laziness. In any case, victims of slip and falls are forced to live with the consequences.

These situations are unfair, and the team at Kanner & Pintaluga isn’t willing to let the situation stand without consequences. Call us at 800.586.5555 and learn about your options.

Why Slip and Fall Claims Are Different from Other Types of Personal Injury

Slip and fall accidents, though seemingly straightforward, have their unique challenges in the realm of personal injury law. Unlike car accidents where damages and causes can often be clearly delineated, slip and fall incidents demand a nuanced approach. Here, the focus is on the conditions of a property and the owner’s responsibility in maintaining a safe environment.

Establishing liability isn’t always straightforward, as it often involves determining if the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and whether the injured party shared any responsibility. Furthermore, the nature of injuries from slip and fall accidents can vary widely, from minor bruises to severe fractures or even traumatic brain injuries, making each case distinct.
