Property Owners Must Address All Types Of Hazards

Business owners, landlords, construction companies, municipal governments and homeowners all have a duty to address hazards that can lead to slip-and-fall accidents. These include:

• Poorly maintained or constructed balconies, stairs, walls or other property features
• Ice or snow that has not been cleared from entryways and sidewalks
• Potholes or cracks in pavement
• Liquid or food spills
• Tripping hazards such as electrical cords or rugs

Why Do I Need An Attorney's Help?

As soon as possible after your accident and after you received medical attention, it is important to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer about your claim. A lawyer like Vail Kaufman can secure important evidence, such as surveillance footage, and locate witnesses necessary to building a strong claim.

Vail can also help you navigate Maryland's complex "contributory negligence" law, which can deny you any compensation if it is determined you failed to take proper precautions. Property owners and insurance agents may try to get you to admit a degree of fault. Do not speak about your accident. Instead, let your lawyer handle these issues on your behalf.
