Our Firm Fights For Your Rights

Slip-and-fall accidents are common causes of injuries, and they can happen anywhere. A person can be left with serious injuries, mounting medical bills and lost income from being unable to work. When this injury occurs because of someone else's negligence, you have the right to seek financial compensation. The slip-and-fall lawyers at Tabor Law Firm, P.A. can help.

These types of personal injury accidents can happen in any place that is open to the public. Slip-and-fall accidents often occur at restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, casinos and parking lots. All property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe. Failing to do can be considered negligence and they can - and should - be held accountable when someone is hurt as a result.

A slip-and-fall accident can be caused by:

Wet floors
Torn carpets
Clutter
Unsecured cords
Poor lighting
Loose floorboards
Uneven pavement
Worn or damaged stairs
Potholes

These accidents can cause a wide range of injuries. Common injuries include broken bones and sprains and strains, as well as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Your injuries will likely require medical treatment, and the costs can add up fast to a significant amount. You may also be left unable to return to work right away, resulting in lost income.

How We Can Help

Property owners are unlikely to admit they were negligent, and insurance companies may not want to pay you a single cent. Their lawyers will likely fight to protect them from responsibility, and you may even be blamed for what happened. That's why you need an experienced slip-and-fall attorney on your side to help you fight back.

Our legal team can investigate your accident to find out what really happened. We will examine all documentation and interview witnesses. Our attorneys can build a strong case that the insurance company has to take seriously, and we make it clear that we are ready to fight for you at trial, if that's what it takes.

Many times, we are able to get insurance companies to negotiate a settlement that meets your needs. And if they won't negotiate, we will take them to court. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who know how to win cases. In addition to medical expenses and lost wages, other damages we can fight for include financial compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
