Why You Need an Attorney

Pursuing a slip and fall accident claim, which falls under the legal theory of premise liability, can be complicated depending on the circumstances. In Connecticut, the courts will consider the comparative negligence of each party depending on the proportionate share of how much their negligence contributed to the personal injury and damage.

There are other things to consider, such as if an ongoing storm contributed to the dangerous condition on the property, whether trespassing was involved, who was controlling or legally in possession of the property, and if there were warning signs posted regarding the hazardous conditions. These circumstances may reduce the property owner or operators’ liability in the cause of the accident.

Retaining an experienced attorney at Moore Kuehn to help you navigate such legal nuances can save you significant stress and worry so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries. This type of claim must be filed with the court within two years of the incident. It is imperative that you contact an attorney as early as possible after the incident.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can sometimes lead to serious injuries, which can have far-reaching consequences on your life and wellbeing. If you have been in a slip and fall accident due to someone else’s negligence, make sure to document the details of the accident, when and where it happened, and how it occurred. Some common conditions that result in slip and fall accidents in Connecticut are:

  • Wet floors, without proper warning signs or notices
  • Uneven walking surfaces
  • Debris on stairways, hallways, or walking surfaces
  • Poorly-lit, slippery, oily, or broken steps on stairways

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Elevated falls and same-level falls are the two basic types of falls that can cause injuries. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 800,000 people are hospitalized each year due to a fall injury. The CDC also reports that about 20% of all falls result in a serious injury. The following are some common injuries resulting from a slip and fall accident:

  • Ankle and wrist sprains
  • Cuts and abrasions
  • Broken bones, hip fractures
  • Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
