Lawyer in Houston Handling Slip & Falls

Handling Slip & Fall Accidents

A slip & fall accident, sometimes also referred to as a trip and fall accident, can occur anywhere.  However, when you are involved in an accident on someone else's premises where some form of negligence caused the accident, you may be able to pursue a claim for damages.  Slip and fall accidents can occur due to a failure on the part of the premises owner to take proper precautions in maintaining the premises as expected.  Spills on the floor, failure to put up "wet floor" signs, poorly maintained parking lots can all lead to slip or trip and falls.  If you have been seriously injured in such an accident, consult with a personal injury attorney from the Malaise Law Firm in Houston to discuss what options you have in pursuing compensation for your injuries.

Slip and fall accidents can result in injuries such as fractures, neck and back injuries, hip injuries, and head injuries.  These can lead to requiring extensive medical treatment, physical therapy and even disability. 

If you have suffered from such an accident, it is important to immediately report the matter to a manager, and take down any witness names as well as a photo of the cause of the slip or trip, if at possible.  Having this documentation can help prove the extent of your claim when it come down to negotiating a settlement.  Our highly skilled attorneys from the Malaise Law Firm will prepare a strong claim on your behalf to obtain the maximum compensation on your behalf.

Slip and Fall Claims
It is the duty of business owners to maintain their premises in a safe manner in order to prevent accidents.  However, determining liability is not always easy to do when the cause of the injury has been cleaned up or otherwise taken care of.  That is why it is important to have a competent personal injury lawyer that will aggressively pursue your claim, as you will need to recover damages for any medical costs or lost wages you have suffered.  The Malaise Law Firm works hard to get you the compensation you deserve.
