Trenton Slip And Fall Lawyer

Slips and falls might sound harmless, but they often cause accidents resulting in serious injuries. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, including the victim’s age and medical conditions as well as the physical conditions of the accident scene, slips and falls can cause injuries requiring hospitalization, complicated and invasive surgeries, lengthy periods of physiotherapy, and major lifestyle adjustments. Some injuries frequently sustained in slip and fall accidents in Trenton include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Strains and sprains
• Musculoskeletal injuries
• Facial and dental injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries 
• Paralysis
• Concussions
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Hip fractures
• And more 

Most slip and fall accidents in Trenton are usually the result of someone else’s negligence. The people who own and/or occupy residential or commercial property owe their guests a duty of care. In premises liability claims, the term “occupier” might refer to:

• Landlords 
• Property managers 
• Business owners/managers
• Maintenance technicians 
• Landscapers
• Superintendents 
• Tenants
• Anyone who controls access to the space
• Anyone responsible for the property’s maintenance
• And more 

These occupiers are responsible for making sure their space is safe to visit. That means they should be regularly inspecting the premises for potentially dangerous safety issues, performing routine maintenance, addressing any hazards that might exist on the premises, or at the very least, displaying adequate warning signs to help visitors avoid an accident. These responsibilities are outlined within the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act.

If a property owner/occupier does not live up to their responsibilities, visitors to the premises can sustain severe injuries as the result of a slip and fall accident. In these situations, the at-fault property owner/occupier who failed to fulfill the duty of care they owe their guests might be required to provide them with compensation for injury-related financial losses they have incurred because of their accident. 

To learn whether you might be entitled to file a civil claim against a negligent property owner/occupier whose failure to safeguard your physical well-being led to an injurious, traumatic event, contact our slip and fall accident lawyers serving Trenton today.
