JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere—apartment complexes, office buildings, grocery stores, malls—and at any given time. Although Philadelphia slip and fall accidents can happen during the spring, summer, and fall, the winter season puts everyone at great risk for slips and falls due to snow and ice hazards.

If sidewalks, entryways, parking lots, and driveways are not shoveled and maintained, people walking onto a neglected property may be injured in a slip and fall. For this reason, businesses, homeowners, landlords, and all property owners have a duty to take care of their premises by maintaining safe passages, which includes shoveling snow and salting icy walkways. If someone slips and falls due to neglect, the injured victim may be due compensation for his injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Hip fracture
• Knee and ligament injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Arm and shoulder injuries
• Feet and ankle fractures
• Head trauma
• Brain injury
• Death

When people suffer from any of the above injuries in a Pennsylvania slip and fall accident, they can hold the property owner or property possessor liable for failing to maintain his property.
