Connecticut Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer
Premises Liability Attorney
Connecticut slip and fall accidents are more common, and more dangerous, than they seems on the surface. The National Safety Council reported that falls are the number one cause of injury in adults 65 years and older. Whether on the job, at home, or visiting someone else’s property, visitors should be able to trust owners to provide safe environments.
The injuries associated with a fall can be painful and enduring. A fractured hip or pelvis can require intense surgery, rehabilitation, hospital stays, and even special equipment. Connecticut slip and fall accidents are costly as well as painful. In some instances, a slip and fall accident victim will need to spend time in a long-term care facility to recuperate.
The cost of healing after a Connecticut slip and fall accident is often more steep than medical bills, prescriptions, and rehabilitation services—the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention shows that adults who have fallen sometimes develop a fear of slip and fall accidents, causing them to limit activities, reduce mobility and physical fitness, and, in turn, increase their chances of falling.
The Connecticut premises liability lawyers at Carter Mario are committed to protecting the rights of those injured on someone else’s property, and will fight for the compensation victims need to move forward. Call our slip and fall lawyers today. We will fight to get the compensation you need for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Types of Connecticut Premises Liability Accidents
There are many events that are considered Connecticut premises liability accidents. Here is a list of examples:
-
Slip and fall accidents caused by slippery floors, standing water, ice, or snow
-
Trip and fall accidents caused by uneven or damaged walkways, slippery stairs, or poor maintenance
-
A preventable assault by a third party due to inadequate security, including lights and surveillance
-
Construction site injuries, especially concerning non-workers
-
Drowning accidents in pools
-
Unsecured objects falling from shelves at a store
After the Accident
Property owners, whether it is private or public property, have a duty of care to maintain premises that are safe to visitors, and to adequately warn visitors of hazards that may cause injury. When property owners fail to uphold this standard of care, people get hurt.
Proving negligence is the key to a Connecticut premises liability claim. Although it can be difficult to prove negligence, there are several factors that weigh in: if the condition of the property was dangerous; the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition; and the owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct the condition or warn visitors of the hazard, which wasn’t reasonably visible to visitors at the time of the accident, then the owner may be held negligent.
If you have suffered injuries from a slip and fall accident, there are several steps you can take to strengthen your claim.
-
Notify the owner of the property of your slip and fall accident. Take photographs if at all possible of the scene to protect yourself against an owner that might make quick repairs before you can file your claim.
-
Seek medical attention. Follow your doctor’s recommendations and keep records of all treatment, medication, and costs you incur.
-
