JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we take your slip and fall case personally!

If you have been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, past and future lost wages, emotional trauma, as well as payment of your accident-related medical bills. A “slip and fall” claim, which falls under the broader category of premises liability cases, occurs when there is a dangerous condition on a property that is allowed to remain and become dangerous, causing an injury. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we represent victims injured as a result of various defects, including:

• Snow and ice accumulations
• Torn, ripped or ratty carpeting
• Cracked sidewalks
• Height differences in sidewalks
• Wet or slippery floors and walkways
• Spills that are not cleaned promptly or completely

Slip and fall cases can occur almost anywhere, and require a prompt and thorough investigation to determine what caused the accident. Our lawyers understand the need for immediate investigation – so that we can view the accident site before conditions change. We regularly hire highly-qualified experts, who will visit the accident scene, review photographs, interview witnesses and determine how the landowner or tenant was negligent. Quickly investigating these cases, and retaining experts as soon as possible, can be the difference between winning and losing.

Slip and falls happen when the victim least expects it, and can occur anywhere, including:

• Apartments
• Casinos
• Government buildings
• Grocery stores
• Homes
• Movie theaters
• Offices
• Public places
• Restaurants
• Shopping malls
• Sports arenas
• Stores

Regardless of where your slip and fall accident occurred, you should contact the lawyers at Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, who will help you with your case and work tirelessly to assure that you receive all of the compensation you are entitled to.

What Type of Compensation Am I Entitled To?

If you or a loved one was injured in a slip and fall accident that was caused by another party’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for all of your pain and suffering, lost wages, future earnings losses, and payment of the medical expenses you have incurred. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we have represented slip and fall accident victims for many years, and we understand how these accidents effect our clients and their families. We know what to do to get you all the compensation you are entitled to and will make sure that everything is done to protect your rights, and assure that you get results as quickly as possible.

What Types of Injuries Can I Receive Compensation For?

Slip and fall accident victims are entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering for all of the injuries they have suffered, including:

• Fractures, strains and sprains
• Neck and back injuries, including herniated and bulging disks
• Head injuries, including concussions
• Leg injuries
• Arm and hand injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Psychological, psychiatric and other emotional injuries
• Any other injuries resulting from the accident

To Whom Do I Report My Accident?

If your accident occurred at a commercial property or business, you should notify the manager or a worker on duty at the time. You should also get that person’s name in case we need to question him or her later. If necessary, you should ask to be taken to a local Emergency Room or should go to your family doctor as soon as possible.

What If the Accident Was My Fault or I Was to Blame?

Do not assume that the accident was your fault; instead, contact an attorney as soon as possible. Determining fault in slip and fall cases can be very complex. Even if you think you were at fault, it is still possible that the accident occurred because the property owner or tenant did something or failed to do something that contributed to or caused your fall. That is why we regularly hire highly-qualified experts to determine what caused the accident. Also, even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Should I Take Pictures Of The Accident Scene?

Yes. If you have a camera or cell phone, and are able to take pictures, you should take photographs. Even if we have to take additional pictures, your photographs can show the condition of the accident scene and prove that you were there.

What If I Was Working At the Time of the Accident?

If you were working or performing job-related duties, you may also be entitled toworkers’ compensation benefits, which will pay your lost wages and medical expenses. If your accident is job-related, you must notify your employer of the accident to assure that you receive all the benefits you are entitled to. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly handle situations in which clients were injured on a property or in a car accident and also received workers’ compensation benefits. We know what to do in these situations and will help you get all the benefits you can.
