A sudden slip on a wet floor or icy pavement might seem minor—until it sends you to the ER with a broken bone or back injury. Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability claims and can result in life-altering consequences. Often, these incidents are preventable with proper maintenance and safety warnings.
Novo Law has extensive experience representing victims of slip and fall injuries and holding negligent property owners accountable. We pursue compensation with diligence, compassion, and an aggressive legal strategy.
Wet or Recently Mopped Floors
Without proper signage, a slick floor can be dangerously invisible and cause a sudden fall.
Spilled Liquids or Grease
Restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations often fail to clean up spills promptly, creating hazardous conditions.
Icy or Snowy Sidewalks
Failure to clear walkways during winter months makes property owners liable for weather-related falls.
Leaky Pipes or Roofs
Chronic water leaks lead to pooling and slipperiness that property managers must address.
Slick Entryways During Rain
Rainwater tracked indoors should be mopped regularly and posted with caution signs to prevent slipping.
Inadequate Anti-Slip Flooring
Certain environments require textured flooring or anti-slip mats that are often overlooked.
You Experienced a Fall on Someone Else’s Property
If you were injured on public or private property due to unsafe conditions, legal counsel is essential.
There Was No Warning Sign for a Known Hazard
