Slip-and-fall accidents can occur under a wide range of very different circumstances.
However, most successful slip-and-fall claims center on similar sets of elements. These elements relate to the facts and circumstances of your accident and help establish whether a property owner or other party should be found liable for your losses.
Slip-and-fall accidents can have life-altering repercussions. However, litigating and winning a lawsuit could prove difficult.
