A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere — a grocery store, apartment complex, restaurant, or parking lot. But when it happens because a property owner failed to maintain a safe environment, that’s negligence. Victims are often left with painful injuries, medical bills, and lost wages — all because someone didn’t take basic safety precautions.
At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we fight for people who’ve been hurt because of unsafe property conditions. Attorney Brandon Wolfe built his practice to stand up for honest, hard-working people against negligent businesses and insurance companies that refuse to take responsibility. You deserve justice — and we’re here to make sure you get it.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall cases are among the most common — and most preventable — types of injuries. Property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep their premises safe and to warn visitors of known hazards. When they fail to do so, Wolfe Trial Lawyers holds them accountable.
Common causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
- Uneven or cracked pavement on sidewalks and parking lots
- Poor lighting in stairways or walkways
- Loose handrails or broken steps
- Cluttered aisles or walkways in stores or offices
- Ice and snow accumulation that’s not properly cleared
- Unsafe flooring materials or rugs that create tripping hazards
Whether the accident happens in a retail store, apartment building, workplace, or public property, our firm investigates the scene, secures evidence, and identifies every party responsible for maintaining safety.
Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall injuries can be more serious than people realize. They often lead to lasting pain, loss of mobility, or permanent disability. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and nerve damage
- Hip, back, or neck injuries
- Soft tissue and ligament damage
- Chronic pain or mobility impairment
These injuries can disrupt your life — keeping you from work, family activities, or simply living without pain. Wolfe Trial Lawyers helps you pursue compensation that reflects the true impact of your injury, not what the insurance company wants to pay.
Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case
To win a slip and fall case, it’s not enough to prove you were injured — you must show the property owner was negligent. Wolfe Trial Lawyers knows what it takes to build a strong case. We work to prove that:
- The property owner or business had a duty to keep the area safe.
- They knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
- They failed to fix or warn about the hazard in a reasonable time.
- That failure directly caused your injury.
We gather photos, surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements to establish the property owner’s liability and expose unsafe practices.
Compensation for Slip and Fall Victims
A fall can lead to significant financial strain — from medical bills to missed paychecks. Wolfe Trial Lawyers fights to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
We collaborate with medical experts and economists to calculate your full damages and fight for fair compensation — whether through negotiation or trial.
