Business owners, property owners and landlords have a legal obligation to maintain their properties.

   Poor lighting, uneven ground, loose or cracked dirt or pavement, flood waters resulting from poor and clogged drains and gutters; broken or missing tiles, pealing or frayed carpeting, isles crowded with merchandise, missing handrails and dangerous stairwells are just a few of the common factors that cause people to fall.

   Such falls are often not the fault of the person who is injured. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for victims to blame themselves or not seek help because their injuries were not “that bad.”

   But fractured or broken hips and damaged nerves and joints can result and sometimes the extent of the injuries can go unknown for some time. By then,  it can be too late to seek compensation for medical bills, missed work and pain and suffering from the negligent owner of the property where the injury occurred.
