What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?

Slip and fall accidents are a type of premises liability claim. This means that, in order to recover compensation, you must prove that the property owner or manager was negligent in some way. This can be difficult, as property owners and managers often have teams of lawyers and insurance adjusters working to protect their interests. That is why you need an experienced slip and fall accident attorney in Westwood on your side.

At Eisenstadt & Krippendorf, we can help you prove that the property owner or manager was negligent by showing that:

  • The property owner or manager owed you a duty of care
  • The property owner or manager breached this duty of care
  • The breach of duty caused you to slip and fall
  • You suffered damages as a result

Our team can help you gather evidence, such as surveillance footage, accident reports, and medical records, to prove that the property owner or manager was negligent. We can also help you calculate the full extent of your damages, including your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
