Pennsylvania law allows injured people to recover compensation for damages if another party’s negligence causes their injury. In the context of a slip and fall accident, negligence may be anything from failing to clean up spilled oil to neglecting parking lot defects. If you are unsure whether your slip and fall accident was caused by negligence, our attorney can investigate the circumstances of your accident and determine your legal options.
If you suffered a slip and fall or trip and fall because of an unsafe condition on a property, you may be entitled to reimbursement for the financial losses and non-financial consequences of the fall.
Every case is different, and there is no set amount of compensation that a person may receive for slip and fall injuries. The amount of compensation that you can potentially recover will depend on:
Economic damages can repay you for the financial losses you suffered because of your accident. Depending on your case’s details, you may receive compensation for:
Non-economic damages compensate you for the intangible harm you experienced because of the fall accident. While there may not be physical proof of these damages, they are recoverable, nonetheless.
In Pennsylvania, you may be entitled to compensation for:
There is a statute of limitations of two years for personal injury cases per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). This means you have two years to file your slip and fall injury lawsuit and pursue compensation. If you do not file within the two-year timeframe, you may not be able to get any compensation at all.
Two years may seem like a lot of time, but it is important to get started quickly because the process of investigating the accident, gathering evidence, and building a case can take some time.
Property owners and property managers have a legal responsibility to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition. They cannot prevent every single injury from occurring, but they need to ensure that there are no unreasonable hazards on the property. If there is a hazardous condition, such as a wet floor, they need to provide a warning to visitors so that they can avoid the dangerous area.
Failure to rectify a hazard on the property or warn visitors about the hazard can be considered negligence. If a property owner’s failure to maintain a safe property causes somebody injury, the property owner may be liable for damages.
The liable party in your slip and fall case may be a retail store, restaurant, or another business. It could also be the owner of the property on which the accident happened or the party leasing the property. Our team can examine the situation and determine who is legally responsible.
Something as seemingly innocuous as a spilled drink can cause a slip and fall accident in which somebody is seriously hurt. Countless issues can lead to a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. However, some of the most common hazards that cause fall accidents include:
Our team will look for evidence of the hazardous situation and demonstrate how it caused your injury. In many premises liability cases, the foreseeability of an accident is a huge part of the case. For example, suppose a store owner knows that other customers have already tripped on a loose electrical cord, and they still do nothing to fix the situation. In that case, they may be liable for any injuries caused by the loose cord.
The statue of limitations for slip and fall injuries vary depending on your state’s laws. In many cases, the statute of limitations begins to run once the injury is discovered.
There are certain mistakes that can harm your chances of recovering compensation after a slip and fall. To protect your case and your health after a fall accident, make sure to avoid the following common mistakes:
You need to get checked out by a medical professional who can assess your injuries and provide appropriate treatment. Furthermore, delaying medical care can give the defendant an excuse to claim that your injuries are not as severe as you say they are.
