Allentown, PA Slip and Fall Attorneys – Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident in Allentown or the Lehigh Valley, the experienced attorneys at Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo are ready to fight for your rights. Property owners — whether private, commercial, or public — have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to meet that duty, and you get hurt, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation.

Slip and fall cases are rarely simple. Property owners and their insurers often try to deny responsibility or blame you for your own injuries. Our Allentown slip and fall lawyers know how to investigate these cases, gather the evidence you need, and build a winning strategy that maximizes your recovery.

Why Slip and Fall Cases Happen in Allentown

Slips, trips, and falls can occur almost anywhere. Common causes include:

• Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
• Snow and ice left uncleared on walkways
• Uneven pavement or broken sidewalks
• Loose carpeting or flooring hazards
• Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking lots
• Clutter or debris in walking areas
• Unsafe staircases or missing handrails

When these hazards exist because of negligence, the property owner can be held legally responsible.

What You Must Prove to Win Your Slip and Fall Case

To succeed in a Pennsylvania slip and fall claim, you must show that:

1. The property owner owed you a duty of care (for example, keeping the premises reasonably safe).
2. They breached that duty by failing to repair, remove, or warn of dangerous conditions.
3. That breach caused your accident and injuries.
4. You suffered damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Commercial property owners have a high duty of care to ensure customer safety, while residential owners must also address hazards within a reasonable time.

Common Defenses in Slip and Fall Cases – And How We Fight Back

Property owners and insurance companies often try to avoid paying by claiming:

• You were in an area where you weren’t supposed to be.
• You were distracted (e.g., looking at your phone).
• You knew about the hazard and didn’t avoid it.
• The hazard was “open and obvious.”
• You wore inappropriate footwear for the conditions.

We anticipate these defenses from the start. Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation, securing security footage, interviewing witnesses, and bringing in safety experts to counter these claims and prove liability.
