Colorado Springs Slip & Fall Lawyers

Around 25,000 people are injured each day in the United States as a result of a fall. These falls cost more than $12,000 on average and the total cost of losses from fall injuries throughout the United States averages around $3.5 million per hour each day.

Accident victims should not have to cope with the costs of their fall injuries if someone else was to blame for the fall.  The experienced Colorado Springs slip and fall lawyers at Levine Law represent the victims of falls and their family members in legal actions to obtain compensation for economic and non-economic losses.

Why Slip and Fall Accidents Happen

Slip and fall accidents can occur at a store, a restaurant, at home or at work. You may also suffer a fall accident on a public sidewalk or at a neighbor’s home. Falls happen for a variety of reasons, including:

• Slippery floor surfaces
• Wet floor surfaces
• Uneven flooring
• Cracks or gaps in tiles or sidewalks
• Debris in walkways
• Snow or ice
• Broken stair railings or dangerous stair treads
• Overcrowded aisles
• Slipping and sliding floor coverings
• Sudden changes in elevation

In many cases, the dangers that lead to a fall exist because property owners have failed to maintain their property or failed to warn visitors of the hazards in the space.  Property owners have certain obligations to their visitors.  When a property owner does not live up to those obligations and a slip and fall injury occurs, the property owner can be held legally liable via a personal injury claim. Renters and non-owners in control of a property can also be held liable if they failed to properly maintain the property before a fall accident victim was invited on the premises.
