Fall on Snow or Ice.

Snow and ice cause many falls in Western Pennsylvania. You
will need to speak with a lawyer to know if you have a good
case against the property owner or occupier. Not every
instance if snow or ice will make the owner liable for the fall
for the dangerous condition.

Hills and Ridges.

Pennsylvania has something called the "hills and ridges"
doctrine that limits liability on the part of property owners
and/or occupiers. Our firm will look at your case from every
angle to maximize your recovery for a slip or fall related
injury. We will sit down with you and answer all your
questions. An attorney (not a paralegal) will discuss your
case with you in detail, free of charge. You will come away
from our meeting with a full undertanding of your case and
some peace of mind.
Our Goal: Your Peace of Mind

You deserve to know your rights following a slip or fall
related injury. We'll sit down with you and answer all your
questions. An attorney (not a paralegal) will discuss your
case with you in detail, free of charge. You will come away
from our meeting with a full undertanding of your case and
some peace of mind.


Experience Pays.

An experienced trial attorney can evaluate the premises
and determine whether the uneven ground was the type
that could allow you to recover for your injuries.


The Premises Owner and Notice.

In some instances, the premises owner must have actual
notice of the condition that made you fall. In other
instances, constructive notice is enough. We will evaluate
your particular case, and whether the premises owner knew
or should have known that property was dangerous by
virtue of it being poorly lit, containing snow or ice, or
otherwise having uneven ground that made you fall.


Not Sure Who Owns the Property?

There is a statute of limitation period that governs all slip
and fall cases in Pennsylvania. Don't delay in calling us
following your fall. Moreover, if a governmental entity owns
the property where you were injured, then you must give
them prompt and timely notice of the accident.


We Will Prepare the Case.

We'll obtain your medical records to further evaluate the
value of your fall related injury. In particular, we will obtain
your medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy records
including diagnostic tests. We'll consider your pre-existing
conditions (if any), and we'll consider the full extent of your
new injury, such as a aggravation, sprain, strain, fracture
(broken bone), or otherwise. We will also put the property /
premises owner's insurance carrier on notice of the incident
and get the case moving forward.


We Will Investigate.

We'll contact the property owner and set up a time that we
(the lawyers) can actually inspect the place you fell if it did
not occur in public. We'll look at whether the property
owner had notice of a dangerous condition of the property
and/or whether a dangerous conditions still exists in the
form of a broken step, uneven ground, poorly lit conditions,
or excessive ice or an unnatural collection of water, for
example. We'll interview witnesses and fully evaluate the
case to best support the allegations you are making. We'll
consider whether any other party can be fault, such as a
contractor responsible for maintaining the property and/or
keeping it in a safe condition.


We Will Negotiate.

We'll work to convince the property owner or his insurance
carrier that slip and fall accident happened as you say, and
that you are entitled to the money you seek. We can help
negotiate down the value of any unpaid medical bills in
certain circumstances and/or try to prevent unpaid bills
from going into collections. We will commence litigation and
aggressively pursue your fall accident claim as your zealous
advocate.
