It’s not just slips or trips, and it’s not just falls. It’s any injury on someone else’s property caused by a danger on that property.

If a person or corporation allows people onto their property, they have to make sure it’s safe. That’s true for a house, store, park, sidewalk, or sports stadium. It’s true for any piece of land. If they don’t make it safe, they’re responsible for the consequences.

Thankfully, many fall injuries aren’t very serious. A bruise, maybe a little embarrassment, and it’s forgotten by the next day. But sometimes it is far more serious. In those situations, we may be able to help. In order to win a case like this (called “premises” cases because they happen on someone else’s property, or “premises”), you need to be able to prove that your injuries were caused by some outside danger. There are many kinds of possible dangers, including:

  • Uneven walking surface

  • “Lips” on the walking surface where you can stub your toe

  • Liquid spills

  • Poor lighting

  • Cracked pavement

  • Torn carpeting

  • Lack of Warnings

  • Debris in walkways

  • Uneven stairs

  • Open holes

  • Stairwells without railings

  • Exposed electrical wiring
