Bloomsburg Slip and Fall Lawyer

Let’s face it, slip and falls happen. In some cases, you can walk away from a slip and fall without any significant injuries. In other instances, you can incur serious injuries that can result in lost wages, significant medical expense and substantial pain and suffering.

Slips, trips, and falls can be caused by dangerous situations that may be due to a property owner’s neglect. Failure to de-ice a sidewalk, remove hazardous materials or provide clear access throughout the property are just some types of circumstances that can make an accident likely to happen.

If you incurred injuries in a slip, trip or fall accident that was due to a property owner’s neglect, you may be entitled to compensation. The Bloomsburg, PA  law offices of Luschas, Naparsteck & Crane can get you the justice you deserve.

…and more.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Injury?

Yes.

If you incurred a serious injury due to a slip and fall, you may go after the negligent party for damages.

You will first have to prove who is responsible for the accident. This may be the property owner, a landlord or the city, if the injury occurred on public property.

In order to determine liability, the following will have to be established:

  • The owner of the premises or an employee must have known about the dangerous circumstances and done nothing about it.
  • The owner of the premises or the employee should have known about the dangerous circumstances because any reasonable person taking care of the property would have discovered in and repaired it.

The claim will also hinge on whether the defendant acted in a reasonable manner. This will be difficult to prove but steps will be taken to determine whether the owner makes regular efforts to keep the property safe and clean.
