Cincinnati Slip & Fall Lawyers
A Personal & Compassionate Approach to Your Injury Case
Slipping and falling can be more than just embarrassing, as these incidents can also cause serious injuries. If you were hurt somewhere other than your home in a slip and fall accident, you may be able to hold the property owner responsible with a premises liability claim for compensation.
Slip and fall accidents often happen because of slippery floor conditions. Pools of water, cleaning solutions, oil spills, ice, spilled liquids, and plumbing leaks should be cleaned up immediately or designated with a wet floor sign. Injury can also occur because of slick carpet, uneven flooring, poor visibility, and a lack of handrails in stairways. The National Floor Safety Institute states that floors and flooring materials contribute directly to about 2 million accidents every year.

The Devastating Consequences of Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are not a laughing matter. They are responsible for numerous emergency room visits each year and often result in fractures, spinal injures like slipped disc, serious bruising, and more. One most common and most dangerous fall injuries is a hip fracture. This is particularly true with elderly men and women who experience a fall, as it is more common and can lead to more serious injuries. When these older individuals suffer a hip fracture, it can lead to life-threatening surgery, permanent limited mobility, and a very painful recovery.
