Every day, people slip, trip and fall resulting in serious injuries. When these accidents are caused by a defect in a floor, sidewalk or another surface, the injured person may be able to recover compensation through a premises liability claim.
These accidents commonly result in fractures, back injuries and joint injuries that can prevent the injured person from working and completing everyday tasks. In some cases, slip-and-fall accidents can cause permanent health problems and disabilities.
Whether you tripped over uneven cement or fell on a step or stairs, if you believe that the surface was defective, speak to a knowledgeable attorney. At Anesi Ozmon, we can help you determine liability and assist you in pursuing compensation from the negligent party.
