Experienced Slip and Fall Lawyers
We have successfully sued supermarkets, department stores and malls as well as owners of apartment buildings and parking lots for slips, trips and other injuries to unsuspecting customers or occupants. Common causes of injury include:
- Spilled liquids or grocery produce on the floor
- Water leaks
- Mopped or waxed floors without caution signs
- Trip and falls on torn carpet or folded rugs
- Falling objects or sharp protrusions
- Construction defects and code violations
A slip and fall can cause serious injury, including broken hips or legs, broken wrists and elbows, severe back injury, and head or facial injury. Any of these can put victims out of work for weeks or result in permanent injury. We work with clients to make sure they get proper medical treatment and a prognosis for recovery and future care requirements such as surgery. We seek full damages for medical bills, lost wages, disfigurement or disability, and pain and suffering.
We send investigators to the site to identify witnesses (including employees) and document the dangerous condition if it still exists. We also seek maintenance records and other information to show that the hazard had been reported but improperly addressed or ignored.
If you suffered a slip and fall injury, you have powerful and proven advocates at Angotti & Straface. We offer a free initial consultation, including home or hospital visits for the severely injured. Call 304-292-4381 today.
