Slips, Trips, and Falls: How Brooks Injury Law Advocates for Victims' Rights

Slip, trip, and fall cases occur when someone is injured on another person's property due to hazardous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or obstacles that create an unsafe environment.
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to promptly address or warn visitors about any potential dangers.
When property owners fail to meet these responsibilities, they can be held liable for injuries resulting from slip, trip, and fall accidents.
Brooks Injury Law helps victims by thoroughly investigating the circumstances of the fall, gathering evidence such as photos, witness statements, and surveillance footage, and building a strong case to prove negligence.
Our attorneys negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs.
If a settlement cannot be reached, Brooks Injury Law is prepared to take the case to trial, ensuring that the victim’s rights are protected and that they receive the justice they deserve.

Property Owner Negligence Can Cause Serious Injuries

Slip and falls are legally referred to as "premises liability" cases. What this means is that the owner of the property is the one responsible for attending to the upkeep of the grounds. Property owners are responsible for inspecting their area, tending to known hazards, and letting visitors know that a hazard may exist. Failure to do so can result in a visitor getting injured and in that case, the owner will be held liable. If you have been injured due to an owner's negligence in maintaining their property or allowing you onto their property under dangerous conditions, you may be entitled to a financial settlement.
