  • Have you or your family member been injured in a Slip, Trip or Fall accident?

    Property owners, landlords and property managers have an obligation to keep their premises safe. If they fail to do so, they may have been negligent in their duties and may be liable for the damages, losses, and injuries they have caused.


    Problems such as slippery floors, broken concrete, untreated snow and ice, dangerous sidewalks, potholes in walking surfaces, low ceilings, tripping hazards, dangerous holes, defective stairways, defective handrails, broken steps, and dangerous conditions of commercial stores, pose serious risks to invited guests who have no knowledge of the defect(s).


    A premises liability case occurs when a person is involved in a serious accident that takes place as a result of unsafe conditions, a defect, or negligent maintenance of property that is owned by a person other than the accident victim. We represent individuals who have been injured in this type of case on a contingent fee basis, meaning No Recovery, No Fee, No Costs to you. Contact Law Offices Bernard M. Gross today, 215-561-3600.

FAQs

  • What should I do after a slip and fall accident?

    Seek medical attention immediately to document your injuries. Take photos of the accident site and any hazards that contributed to your fall. Obtain contact information from witnesses and report the incident to the property owner or manager. Avoid making statements to insurance companies without consulting an attorney.

  • Who is liable for my injuries in a slip and fall case?

    Liability often falls on the property owner or manager if their negligence caused unsafe conditions. For example, failure to address hazards like spills, broken stairs, or poor lighting can make them liable. Our attorneys investigate the details to determine fault and build a strong case.

  • What types of compensation can I recover?

    You may recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs related to your injury. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded. We’ll assess your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

  • How do you prove negligence in a slip and fall case?

    Proving negligence requires demonstrating that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it. Evidence such as maintenance records, witness testimony, and photos can support your claim. Our attorneys gather all necessary evidence to build a compelling case.

  • How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit?

    In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. It’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence and ensure your claim is filed on time.

  • What if I was partially at fault for the fall?

    Pennsylvania follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • Do I need an attorney for a slip and fall case?

    Yes. Slip and fall cases can be complex, involving disputes over liability and compensation. An experienced attorney will protect your rights, negotiate with insurance companies, and build a case to maximize your recovery.

    At Gross, Gross, & Newman Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we win your case, ensuring high-quality legal representation without financial burden.
