Slip & Fall Injuries

Injuries that are proven to be the result of negligence on the part of a homeowner, business owner, or property owner, such as slippery floors, uneven stairs, loose or torn carpet, structural deficiencies, inadequate lighting, or icy walkways (also referred to as premises liability) are eligible for compensation.

Premises liability cases are some of the most difficult cases to pursue. For this reason, the specifics of your injury should be carefully evaluated by an experienced attorney.

If I was hurt on someone else’s property, do I have a claim?

In many instances you do. Contrary to popular belief, a person who is injured on another person’s property is not necessarily entitled to compensation for his/her injuries. In order to obtain a recovery in Connecticut, it is necessary to prove that the owner of the property was negligent and that their negligence caused your injury. This negligence can be shown in a variety of ways based on state law but must be supported by specific facts and evidence.
