How We Help Slip and Fall Victims

At TOP USA LAW, we understand the serious injuries that can result from slip and fall accidents, from broken bones and sprains to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. Our experienced premises liability attorneys help victims hold negligent property owners accountable.

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of known hazards. When they fail in this duty and someone is injured as a result, we help victims navigate the complex legal process to secure the compensation they deserve.

Common Slip and Fall Locations

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but they’re particularly common in certain locations where property owners fail to maintain safe conditions or warn about hazards. Our attorneys have extensive experience with cases in all these environments.

Retail Stores & Supermarkets

Falls due to spills, fallen merchandise, or poorly maintained floors.

Restaurants & Bars

Slips on food debris, spilled drinks, or greasy floors.

Office Buildings

Falls in lobbies, stairwells, or common areas due to poor maintenance.

Apartment Complexes

Accidents on walkways, stairs, or common areas with inadequate maintenance.

Hotels & Resorts

Falls in lobbies, bathrooms, or around swimming pools.

Public Sidewalks & Parking Lots

Trips on uneven surfaces, potholes, or ice and snow accumulation.

Our Slip and Fall Case Process

We follow a proven methodology to build strong premises liability cases and maximize compensation for our slip and fall clients.

Free Initial Consultation

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your slip and fall case, discussing the circumstances, injuries, and potential liability of the property owner or occupier.

Immediate Investigation

We act quickly to preserve critical evidence, including surveillance footage, incident reports, maintenance records, and witness statements before they can be altered or destroyed.

Hazard Documentation

We thoroughly document the dangerous condition that caused your fall, whether it was a wet floor, uneven surface, poor lighting, or other hazard, often using expert analysis.

Liability Determination

We establish the property owner’s knowledge of the hazard (actual or constructive notice) and their failure to address it or provide adequate warnings.

Damages Assessment

We calculate the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any long-term impacts of your injuries.

Resolution & Recovery

We pursue maximum compensation through skilled negotiation with insurance companies or, when necessary, litigation against the property owner or other responsible parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about slip and fall cases and how our attorneys can help.

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?

First, seek medical attention for your injuries, even if they seem minor. Report the accident to the property owner, manager, or staff and ensure an incident report is filed. If possible, take photos of the hazardous condition that caused your fall and get contact information from any witnesses. Keep all evidence including the shoes and clothing you were wearing. Then contact our attorneys as soon as possible to discuss your legal options before speaking with insurance companies.

How do I prove the property owner was negligent in my slip and fall case?

To prove negligence, you must establish that: 1) The property owner had a duty to maintain safe premises; 2) A dangerous condition existed; 3) The owner knew or should have known about the condition; 4) They failed to fix it or warn about it; and 5) This negligence directly caused your injuries. Our attorneys gather evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, witness statements, and expert testimony to build a strong case establishing these elements.

What if I was partially at fault for my slip and fall accident?

Many states follow comparative negligence laws, which allow you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% responsible, your recovery would be reduced by 20%. Some states follow contributory negligence rules, which can prevent recovery if you were even slightly at fault. Our attorneys understand these complex rules and can help maximize your recovery regardless of partial fault.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?

Statutes of limitations for slip and fall cases vary by state, typically ranging from 1-3 years from the date of injury. However, there are exceptions that might shorten this timeframe, such as when the property owner is a government entity. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you don’t miss important deadlines that could bar your claim permanently.

What compensation can I recover in a slip and fall case?

Potential compensation includes medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving particularly egregious negligence, punitive damages may also be available. Our attorneys work to identify and document all applicable damages to maximize your recovery.

How much does it cost to hire a slip and fall attorney?

We handle slip and fall cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are free, and we advance all costs associated with investigating and pursuing your claim. This arrangement ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
