Who Is Responsible For Your Fall? Determining Fault Is Key
to Your Case
Premises liability is the concept that property owners have an obligation to minimize hazards to those who have a right to enter their property. Whether your accident happened in Rockville, Frederick, or anywhere across Prince George's County and the DC metro area, our attorneys can hold property owners responsible for failure to remove hazards, failure to warn guests of dangerous conditions, neglected maintenance, and neglected safety inspections.
Slip and fall accidents that warrant a personal injury lawsuit can happen in a variety of places, including:
Bars, Restaurants, and Venues
These establishments can have many hazards, especially when they are not handled properly by the owner or the staff. Spilled drinks, spilled food, or raised rugs and mats can all cause patrons to slip and fall.
Supermarkets and Retailers
Similarly to bars and restaurants, slip and falls can also occur in grocery stores and other retail stores due to spilled liquids, lack of mats near the entrances, and a failure to put up wet floor signage.
Apartment Buildings and Condos
Property managers of apartment buildings have a responsibility to keep common areas safe for tenants and their guests. Damaged walkways, wet floors, and debris on the ground following a storm all need to be cleared.
Hospitals and Nursing Homes
Senior citizens and patients whose health is already suffering are at a higher risk of debilitating injury and even death following a slip and fall accident. If a loved one has passed away due to negligent conditions at a facility, our wrongful death lawyers in Rockville, MD, can help your family pursue justice.
Hotels, Gyms, and Office Buildings
Property owners and their staff at these locations must remain diligent in cleaning up after their guests. Wet floors, physical obstructions like towels, and spilled drinks should all be cleaned in a timely manner to prevent a fall injury. If you were injured while working at one of these locations, our workers' compensation lawyers in Rockville, MD, can help you explore your options.
A Failure To Maintain the Property Can Cause Slip
and Fall Accidents
A property owner is obligated to maintain their space to prevent dangerous conditions. A failure to do so can cause a slip and fall accident. Slip and fall accidents can be a result of:
Weather Conditions
Ice, rain, and snow can cause dangerous conditions on the property. A failure to clear sidewalks, provide mats to dry customers' feet, or wipe up the water left by wet shoes or umbrellas can lead to a slip and fall.
Wet Floors
Floors can become dangerous when wet. A failure to clean spilled products, leaks, or wet spots resulting from the weather can lead to a slip and fall. Proper signage should also be used to alert patrons of the potential hazard.
Damaged Flooring
Damaged floors or uneven floors that are not properly marked can lead to a trip and fall. Raised corners of carpets or rugs, damaged floorboards, or a bump or step that isn't completely obvious can cause a personal injury.
Poor Lighting
Spaces that are not properly lit can lead to personal injuries. Take note of burnt-out lightbulbs or any hazards that could have been seen in proper lighting. This evidence can help support your slip and fall claim.
It is important to record a detailed account of the conditions surrounding your slip and fall incident. Take pictures of any water on the floor, lack of signage, or poor lighting to help support your case. Whether your injury occurred in Rockville, Frederick, or elsewhere in Maryland or Washington, DC, contact our attorneys so we can help you gather the evidence you need to file a successful slip and fall claim.

A Failure To Maintain the Property
Can Cause Slip and Fall Accidents
A property owner is obligated to maintain their space to prevent dangerous conditions. A failure to do so can cause a slip and fall accident. Slip and fall accidents can be a result of:
When you have to seek medical care due to injuries caused by another person's negligence, you should not have to pay for the expense. Our lawyers can review your past and expected medical bills to help determine what you are owed.
You may have to miss work if you have suffered debilitating injuries from your slip and fall. Our attorneys can help calculate how much time off work you will need and determine the amount of lost income that will involve.
If your slip and fall resulted in damage to your property like jewelry, a watch, or eyeglasses, we can pursue compensation to cover the cost of replacing or repairing that damaged item.
While most people think of catastrophic injuries occurring after an incident like a car accident, slip and fall victims can also have injuries that leave them permanently physically impaired. If your injury resulted in life-altering adjustments like being wheelchair bound, we can seek damages to cover the cost of adapting to these changes.
Severe injury can cause lasting emotional and mental stress. Sometimes this stress can require the help of a mental health professional for several years following your accident. Our fall lawyers can seek to cover the damages caused by your pain and suffering and help you heal from this trauma.
File Your Claim Before It's Too Late
In both Maryland and Washington, DC, you have three years from the time of the incident to file a claim. Once this time has passed, you can no longer receive compensation for your slip and fall accident. Don't wait until it's too late. Contact our Rockville, MD, law firm for your free consultation. Personal injury law is complicated; let us take care of protecting your rights and your future.
