Slip and Fall Accidents

If you have been injured on someone else's property due to the fault of another, you are entitled to damages.

A slip and fall is a generic term for an injury that occurs when someone slips, trips, or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property.  It includes falls as a result of water, ice, and snow, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting or even a hidden hazard such as a gap or a hole in the ground.

Property owners are responsible for injuries that occur as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on their property, which the owner knew about, or should have known about.  These conditions may be obvious, such as ice or snow on a sidewalk, or hidden, such as a hole in a lawn that may be obscured by grass.

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, please contact the Law Offices of Michael L. Jacobs for a free consultation and case evaluation.

• Medical bills and expenses incurred as a result of the incident;
• Lost income for time from work to recovery;
• Compensation for pain and suffering as a result of the incident; and
• General damages.
