Morris County Slip & Fall Injury Lawyer
A maintenance company may forget to clear a sidewalk after a storm or a grocery manager may neglect to have a spill cleaned up. In both cases, unsafe premises can cause a slip and fall accident with serious injuries.
At the Law Offices of Smith & Doran in Morristown, New Jersey, our personal injury attorneys handle slip and fall accident cases and help our clients obtain the compensation they need for medical treatment, pain and suffering and lost wages.
Most Slip and Fall Accidents Could Have Been Prevented
Owners, managers, maintenance companies and others are responsible for keeping premises safe for people who visit, work or live on those premises. When a client tells us about a slip and fall accident, our Morristown law firm investigates the cause, reviews the injuries and seeks compensation.
- Supermarket managers and owners know they have a responsibility to clean up dangerous spills as soon as possible. When they forget, when a customer slips and falls because of a lettuce leaf left too long on the floor, a puddle caused by a leaky freezer or a spill of vegetable oil, the injuries can be very serious.
- Businesses need to be kept safe for the customers. When snow melt freezes again overnight, a parking lot or entryway can become extremely dangerous. A hard fall on ice can fracture a hip or cause a brain injury.
- An improperly designed stairway that is missing a necessary railing can cause a dangerous slip and fall. In one case the owner of an older apartment building failed to meet building code standards. That negligence caused a man to fall down the stairs and suffer a spinal cord injury that resulted in paraplegia.
- Poor lighting or a failure to take appropriate measures can result in negligent security and an assault on a customer or guest.
