Slip and Fall Accident Attorney Bountiful

When you visit somebody else’s property – whether that is residential or commercial – you have the right to be safe from harm throughout your stay. This right to be free of fear of injury applies when you are in somebody else’s home or garden, walking along the street, using a parking lot, or anywhere else. The owner of the property in question can be held liable for any injuries occurring due to a hazard or dangerous condition, whether they are an individual, a business, or even a government agency.

Slipping and falling may not sound like a serious event, and in many cases it results in nothing more than some slight damage to your pride but, in countless other scenarios, the resulting injuries can be devastating. Did you know that around 800,000 United States citizens are hospitalized due to injuries following a slip and fall accident each year?

If you, or a loved one, have been seriously injured due to a failure to keep a property free from hazards, you could be entitled to recover compensation and monetary damages, with some legal assistance from our Bountiful slip and fall accident attorneys.

When Are Slip & Fall Accidents Most Likely to Occur?

In general terms, a slip and fall accident can happen absolutely anywhere. Places where there is a sloped or uneven underfoot surface can carry a higher risk, although the possibilities are almost infinite. Some of the most common scenarios we encounter as Bountiful slip and fall accident attorneys include the following, although we could successfully litigate on your behalf whatever the hazard:

• Poorly maintained or damaged flooring or handrails in stairwells
• Broken or uneven tiling in a swimming pool or the poolside areas
• Lifted or otherwise damaged carpeting or other flooring
• Ice or snow outside a store, or on a public walkway, which has not been removed or adequately treated
• Recently washed or waxed floors, where the premises owner has failed to provide adequate warning signage
• Spills in a store, again without adequate warning signs. Any spills should be mopped immediately, and customers warned about the potential for slipping
• Poorly maintained surfaces at work
• Worn staircases in churches and other places of worship, which have not been properly maintained
• Cracked or uneven ground in a parking lot

There are countless scenarios in which you could be injured due to a slip and fall accident, and the Bountiful lawyers at The Jardine Law Offices are ready and equipped to successfully handle lawsuits arising from each and every one of them.
