Slips, Trips & Falls

Charleston Attorney for Slips, Trips & Falls

Were You Injured on Someone Else’s Property?

What goes up always comes down, but not even the universal force of gravity is a good excuse for a negligent property owner when you become injured by a slip, trip, or fall on their premises. Accidents happen, and they can happen anywhere for a number of reasons.

Slips, trips, and falls are no exception, especially because anyone can be at risk when a property owner is negligent in the upkeep of floors, hand railings, stairs, and other features.

The attorneys of Rod Smith Law PLLC can support your claim if you were injured after falling on someone’s property. Premises liability laws in West Virginia say it’s the owner’s responsibility to keep their property in a safe condition at all times to avoid injury to other parties for incidents like slips, trips, and falls.

Unsafe conditions that can lead to these types of personal injury claims include:

  • Wet floors
  • Uneven pavement
  • Potholes
  • Loose railings
  • Lack of warning signage
  • Torn carpeting
  • Illegal or unapproved building modifications

At Rod Smith Law PLLC, each new case we fight benefits from our 25 years of combined experience and brings us new experience to continue fighting for clients like you in the future.

Slips, Trips & Falls: Common & Deadly

According to the National Safety Council, in 2022 alone, more than 6.9 million people were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries in the U.S. Falls remain one of the leading causes of preventable injury-related deaths, with 44,686 fatalities reported in 2022 accounting for nearly 22% of all preventable injury deaths that year.

Needless to say, slips, trips, and falls are common and can be deadly. That’s why it’s important for you to seek justice by holding those responsible for your injuries accountable for their negligence. Not only do you deserve fair and just compensation to help you pay your medical bills and other hardships like physical therapy or loss of enjoyment, but your actions now could prevent future incidents.
