Slip and Fall Accidents
Slips and trips are often presented as minor, even comical events in the media. The truth about these injuries, however, is not humorous at all. Falls are among the most common accidents in the US, causing about one million significant injuries every year. Among these victims, about 17,000 per year do not survive their injuries.

Fall Injuries and Negligence
Sadly, most fatal injuries caused by slips or trips could have been avoided by foresight and increased attention to detail. Many negligent parties have played a role in trip and fall accidents, including:
- Employers who failed to provide a safe working environment
- Businesses that did not maintain clear, spill-free floors for customers
- Homeowners who failed to warn guests about hazards on their property
- Architects or construction companies who created unsafe structures
- Property owners who failed to keep children away from hazards like trampolines
If your loved one was a victim of any of the above situations, our experienced Pennsylvania slip and fall lawyers can help you decide what steps to take next.
