Premises Liability (Slip, Trip and Fall) Attorneys

Premises liability is when one is hurt on another's property. Many of these cases are slips, trips, and/or falls. The owner of a property has a duty to maintain his/her property in a reasonably safe condition. This includes the removal of snow and ice or drying floors during rain events. While trip and falls bring to mind slap-stick comedy, they are no laughing matter and often result in serious permanent injury or even death. The Evansville-based slip and fall (premises liability) lawyers of Robert John and Associates have years of experience obtaining compensation for those injured because of a landowner’s neglect.

Slip, trips, and falls can occur at grocery stores, department stores, apartment complexes, a friend or relative's residence, and even doctor offices. Slips and falls account for more fatal injuries for people older than 65 than any other accident event. Poorly maintained parking lots, stairways, ramps, sidewalks, and walkways are often the cause of the injury.

In addition to the traditional slips, trips, and falls, premises liability includes injuries or death because of the negligence of a property owner and/or property manager, including but not limited to:

• Landlord Negligence – lack of smoke detectors or poor property maintenance
• Dog Bites (Animal Attacks)
• Accidental poisonings
• Chemical Exposures
• Elevator and Escalator malfunctions
• Electrocutions
• Drowning
• Daycare Negligence
• Fires
• Explosions
