New Haven Slip-And-Fall Lawyers
Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents can result in some extremely severe injuries to victims. Perhaps the most tragic part is that these accidents are among the most preventable, as they could be avoided if property owners would simply remain diligent in their duty to provide hazard-free environments and respond in timely manners to any hazards that may arise.
In too many cases, however, property owner negligence and a lack of concern for visitor safety leave hazards unattended, leading to broken bones, spinal cord injuries, head trauma and other serious injuries to victims. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident that occurred because of a property owner’s failure to properly attend to a slipping or tripping hazard, a qualified personal injury attorney can help to ensure that your rights are protected.
