Slip and Fall

Premises liability cases, commonly referred to as “slip and fall” cases, involve accidents that occur due to negligent maintenance, or unsafe and dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises. Common situations giving rise to premises accidents include uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, slippery surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators and broken steps.

The Law Office of Victor A. Amada has represented many types of premises liability cases. An emerging area of litigation includes claims against hotels, shopping centers and other businesses.
