Slip & Fall

A floor covered in water with no warning signs, poor lighting in a stairwell, a cracked and broken sidewalk – slip and fall accidents can happen virtually anywhere. And when you become the victim, you want the experienced lawyers for slip and fall accidents from Jacobson, Schrinsky & Houck on your side.

Proving Your Case

If you were injured in a fall, it may be the fault of the landowner. Usually, to prove your case you will need photos of the scene that show the dangerous condition that caused you to fall (i.e. an icy sidewalk, etc.). Also, witnesses are helpful to your case and you will need proof of your injuries. Often, when people fall in a store or other large business, there is an “incident report.” A copy of this report will be important to your claim, as well.

Experienced personal injury lawyers understand the factors that can result in a slip and fall case ending in a cash settlement for the victim. Protect yourself by talking to an experienced attorney as soon as you are able after the accident.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Just as they can happen anywhere, a slip and fall injury can affect any area of the body. Some of the more common injuries include those of the head, back or spinal cord, hips and shoulders, as well as sprains and fractures throughout the body. Problems can range from the irritating to the irreversible, so be sure to contact a personal injury lawyer at Jacobson, Schrinsky & Houck if you believe you have a claim.
