Slip and Fall Accidents

 

In your favorite restaurant, shopping mall, or grocery store, you wouldn’t suspect to sustain an injury. However, slipping and falling can cause major injury, and even have a long-term impact on your life. Many laws, regulations, and codes should prevent you from encountering one of these incidents. However, sometimes establishments and properties disregard these regulations and fail to provide safe conditions for their guests. Many people are often hesitant to pursue legal action as they are unaware of their rights in slip and fall accidents. If you believe that your fall was caused by someone’s negligence, you should contact us at JDL Law Firm to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

  • Lack of proper signage

  • Unsafe or defective flooring

  • Adverse weather conditions

  • Missing or damaged handrails

  • Poorly maintained or uneven sidewalks

  • Unsafe conditions at construction sites

  • Inadequate security

  • Potholes

  • Poor lighting
