Slip, Trip & Fall (Premises Liability)
Wet floors without warnings, broken stairs, missing rails, unlit parking lots, ice that sat for days. Premises cases turn on notice and evidence — both of which vanish quickly. Call before the footage is overwritten.
We send spoliation letters within days to preserve surveillance video, inspection logs, and incident reports — the documents that show how long the hazard existed and who knew about it.
Then we prove notice: cleaning schedules that weren't followed, prior complaints that were ignored, industry safety standards the owner skipped. That's what turns ‘accidents happen’ into liability.
Questions we hear
Comparative fault arguments are standard playbook. They rarely erase a claim — and they collapse when the hazard was invisible, unmarked, or long-ignored.
No, though it makes evidence more important. Medical records, photos, witnesses, and video can establish what happened even without a same-day incident report.
Claims are made against the homeowner's insurance policy, not your friend's wallet. That's exactly what the coverage exists for.
