These injuries often occur because the owner, operator or manager of the premises was negligent or at fault in either creating an unreasonably dangerous condition on the premises, allowing it to remain unchecked and unremedied, failing to periodically inspect the premises and make repairs or failing to warn the public of the dangerous condition. If no legal action is taken and the owner of the premises does not remedy or remove the dangerous condition, or does not change a dangerous way of doing business, then others will be injured.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
Injuries from these types of accidents are usually serious because the victim, who is going about his\/her normal business at a public place, is not expecting to encounter the hazard. The victim is “ambushed” by the unforeseen substance on the floor or by the trip hazard. The falls are sudden, swift and violent. Common injuries in these types of falls are broken bones, twisted and torn knee ligaments (ACLs, MCLs), back and spine injuries and often head injuries from the head striking the ground.<\/p>\n
If you have been seriously injured in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident, it is critical that you seek the advice of experienced litigation counsel as quickly as possible. Of all personal injury cases, premises liability cases are among the most difficult to prosecute and win because of the many legal defense available to the owner of the premises. Knowing this, insurance companies and their attorneys routinely deny these claims and do not offer settlements in premises liability cases without a fight.<\/p>\n
To get a settlement offer or a successful verdict at trial, you will need a skilled, experienced attorney who is knowledgeable in Arizona premises liability law and who knows how to investigate the accident, collect the evidence and develop your case to neutralize all of the possible defenses and who is willing to file a lawsuit and take the case to trial. Experts may be needed to inspect the site condition before the evidence disappears; store video may have to be secured.<\/p>\n
