Holding Property Owners Accountable for Unsafe Conditions and Fall Injuries
Injured on someone else’s property? We hold negligent property owners accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Unsafe Property Conditions Can Shatter Lives in an Instant
We Represent Victims Injured in Falls, Hazards, and Dangerous Premises
Slip and fall accidents are often dismissed as “minor”—but they can cause devastating injuries with long-term consequences. From broken bones and concussions to permanent mobility loss, these accidents can lead to months or years of medical treatment and lost wages. Property owners, landlords, and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail, they must be held accountable.
At Pedro L. Salim Law Firm, we represent clients who have been hurt due to unsafe conditions in retail stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, public spaces, and private residences. We investigate the scene, gather evidence, and build a claim that clearly demonstrates how the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries.
Many slip and fall injuries lead to complications such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or long-term disability—and we fight for maximum compensation to reflect the full cost of recovery.
Premises Liability Law Isn’t Just About Slipping on a Wet Floor
You May Be Entitled to Compensation If You Were Hurt on Dangerous Property
Premises liability claims go far beyond basic slip and fall scenarios. They include any injury caused by unsafe, poorly maintained, or improperly supervised property conditions.
We represent individuals injured in:
- Grocery store falls due to unmarked spills
- Parking lot injuries from poor lighting or potholes
- Falls on icy walkways or sidewalks
- Deck or balcony collapses
- Broken stairs or railings in apartment buildings
- Injuries from falling objects in retail stores
- Assaults in places lacking adequate security (negligent security claims)
- Pool accidents or unsafe public recreational areas
- Construction zone hazards not clearly marked

If your injuries occurred on a commercial or residential property, you may have a valid claim. We pursue compensation for both immediate injuries and longer-term effects like chronic pain or emotional trauma.
Slip and Fall Accidents on Wet Surfaces
Spills in stores or restaurants must be cleaned up promptly. If not, property owners may be liable for injuries.
Trip and Fall Injuries from Uneven Flooring or Sidewalks
Cracked pavement, loose tiles, or carpeting can easily cause a fall—especially for older adults or those with mobility challenges.
Injuries in Public or Commercial Parking Lots
Poor lighting, potholes, and lack of signage can create hazardous conditions for pedestrians and drivers alike.
Negligent Security and Assaults on Business Premises
If you were attacked on private property and security was inadequate, you may be entitled to damages. This overlaps with
violent crime investigations.
What Can You Recover in a Premises Liability Case?
Compensation for Medical Bills, Pain, and Long-Term Disability
Slip and fall and premises liability claims often result in high medical expenses, long-term treatment, and temporary or permanent loss of income.
Our firm fights for full compensation, including:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Surgery and physical therapy
- Lost wages and diminished earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and anxiety
- Out-of-pocket medical and travel expenses
- Future medical needs
- Wrongful death damages, where applicable
We build strong claims by preserving evidence, requesting surveillance footage, obtaining inspection logs, and consulting safety experts.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability FAQs
Your Questions Answered by an Experienced Injury Law Firm
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical attention immediately. Then, report the accident, document the scene with photos, and contact a personal injury attorney.
Can I sue if I was partially at fault for my fall?
In many states, yes. Even if you were partially responsible (e.g., distracted), you may still recover compensation based on comparative negligence.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim?
Time limits vary by state, but generally range from 1–3 years. Act quickly to preserve your right to sue.
Is the property owner automatically liable?
No. You must prove they knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix or warn you in a reasonable timeframe.
Do I need a lawyer for a slip and fall case?
Absolutely. These cases are hard to prove without legal help. A lawyer will gather evidence, deal with insurance companies, and fight for your compensation.
