Slip & Fall Injury Lawyer in Buffalo, NY

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—on sidewalks, in stores, at work, or on private property—and they often result in serious injuries. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions and address hazards promptly. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions, such as icy walkways, wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting, you may be entitled to compensation.

 

At Collins & Collins Attorneys, LLC, we have extensive experience handling slip and fall cases and will work diligently to hold negligent property owners accountable. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your case.

Liability or legal fault in these cases focuses on the owner or possessor of the land or building where the injury occurs. It is not enough to prove that someone simply falls on someone else’s property to be able to recover.

We must prove that there was a dangerous and/or defective condition on the premises and the owner or possessor failed to remedy it. Moreover, generally we need to show that the owner or possessor created, knew, or should have known of the condition. The slippery conditions can be ice, snow, water, grease, or any slippery substance. We are well familiar with these types of cases and what is needed to win the case for our client. Another thing to know about slip and fall cases is that the owner or possessor of the property is not automatically required to pay your medical bills.

Handling Medical Bills and Preserving Evidence in Slip & Fall Cases

This is a commonly held misperception. You should put such medical bills through your own health insurance. There may be situations where your insurance company could be reimbursed for the payment of the medical bills. If you have no applicable insurance, there are some other remedies he can suggest. Finally, as with many other cases, it is important to contact us as soon as possible. Pictures of the dangerous or defective condition can be very helpful.
