SLIP AND FALL

Property owners must keep their properties safe to prevent people from falling and becoming injured — or worse. Under New Jersey’s premises liability law, if someone is injured because of an unsafe property condition, the injured person has a legal right to seek financial compensation for his or her medical expenses, lost wages or income, pain and suffering, and more.

The personal injury attorneys of Pagliara Law Group, P.A., are experienced in representing people who were injured in falls. If you were seriously injured in a fall on someone else’s property, please contact us to discuss your case.

We Take Falls Seriously

Falls are not just a momentary embarrassment. They can lead to serious injury or fatality. One out of five falls causes a major injury such as broken bones or a head injury. More than 2.8 million people are treated in emergency departments annually, due to falls.

Falls Are:

• The sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. — National Safety Council
• The third leading cause of death caused by unintentional injury, after poisoning (especially drug overdoses) and motor vehicle accidents — National Center for Health Statistics
• The most common cause of traumatic brain injury — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Slip, Trip And Fall Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries, Including:
