Four frequently asked questions about VA slip and fall cases:
1. I fell and was injured. Can I sue someone?
If your injury occurred in a store or a building, you can sue to recover damages to compensate you for your injuries. Be aware, however, that a building owner is not liable for every injury that occurs on the property.
To receive compensation for an injury, the owner or operator of the business must have breached his or her duty to keep the premises reasonably safe and to warn of known dangers. We can provide you with additional details about premises liability.
If you fell while working, your injuries may be covered by your employer’s workers compensation insurance. Visit our Workers’ Compensation page for further information.
2. What types of hazards may trigger premises liability claims?
- Concealed holes
- Crumbling curbs
- Cracked sidewalk
- Defects in chairs or benches
- Falling objects
- Icy walkways
- Improperly secured mats
- Insufficient lighting
- Open excavations
- Standing water
- Uncleared snow
- Uneven pavement
- Wet or slippery floors
- Defective flooring
- Broken or missing handrail
- Aggressive pets
3. How long do I have to file a slip and fall suit?
4. What is your fee structure for personal injury cases?
