Slip and Fall: Uneven Ground.
The owner of property has a duty to make sure the ground is level and free from edges that can cause you serious injury. Many times, property can become dangerous because of a broken step, uneven surface (parking lot, sidewalk), natural land subsidence, or the roots of a tree causing the property to change shape and become a dangerous condition. We will investigate to determine whether you can recover for injuries from a slip and fall from uneven ground or a broken step.
Our Goal: Your Peace of Mind
You deserve to know your rights following a slip or fall related injury. We'll sit down with you and answer all your questions. An attorney (not a paralegal) will discuss your case with you in detail, free of charge. You'll come away from our meeting with a full undertanding of your case and some peace of mind.
Experience Pays.
An experienced trial attorney can evaluate the premises and determine whether the uneven ground was the type that could allow you to recover for your injuries.
The Premises Owner and Notice.
In some instances, the premises owner must have actual notice of the condition that made you fall. In other instances, constructive notice is enough. We will evaluate your particular case, and whether the premises owner knew or should have known that property was dangerous by virtue of it being poorly lit, containing snow or ice, or otherwise having uneven ground that made you fall.
Not Sure Who Owns the Property?
There is a statute of limitation period that governs all slip and fall cases in Pennsylvania. Don't delay in calling us following your fall. Moreover, if a governmental entity owns the property where you were injured, then you must give them prompt and timely notice of the accident.
We Will Prepare the Case.
We'll obtain your medical records to further evaluate the value of your fall related injury. In particular, we will obtain your medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy records including diagnostic tests. We'll consider your pre-existing conditions (if any), and we'll consider the full extent of your new injury, such as a aggravation, sprain, strain, fracture (broken bone), or otherwise. We will also put the property / premises owner's insurance carrier on notice of the incident and get the case moving forward.
We Will Investigate.
We'll contact the property owner and set up a time that we (the lawyers) can actually inspect the place you fell if it did not occur in public. We'll look at whether the property owner had notice of a dangerous condition of the property and/or whether a dangerous conditions still exists in the form of a broken step, uneven ground, poorly lit conditions, or excessive ice or an unnatural collection of water, for example. We'll interview witnesses and fully evaluate the case to best support the allegations you are making. We'll consider whether any other party can be fault, such as a contractor responsible for maintaining the property and/or keeping it in a safe condition.
We Will Negotiate.
We'll work to convince the property owner or his insurance carrier that slip and fall accident happened as you say, and that you are entitled to the money you seek. We can help negotiate down the value of any unpaid medical bills in certain circumstances and/or try to prevent unpaid bills from going into collections. We will commence litigation and aggressively pursue your fall accident claim as your zealous advocate.
Rely on Our Courtroom Experience.
We've handled personal injury cases at all levels of litigation in Pennsylvania: magistrate (district justice), compulsory arbitration, UIM arbitration, UM arbitration, jury trials, superior court appeals, appeals to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and federal court cases. We've conducted out of state depositions, depositions for use at trial, we've handled cases throughout West Virginia. You can rely on our experience to know what kind of evidence is most important to maximize the value of your claim.
