Experienced Slip and Fall Attorney in CT
Attorney Collier represents people seriously injured in slip and fall accidents. Property owners, landlords, property managers and places of business including grocery stores, shopping malls, and hotels, have a duty to their visitors and customers to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. Water or other liquids become a hazard in grocery stores and shopping centers and the owners have a duty to inspect the property from time to time to make sure that no hazards exist. A landlord or residential property owner has a duty to remove snow and ice from driveways, walkways and parking lots within a reasonable time after the snow fall ends.
Slip and fall accidents are often caused by owner neglect
Slip, trip and fall injuries routinely occur as a result of a property owner’s failure to inspect and eliminate the hazard. If you have slip and fell due to someone else’s negligence, you need a litigation attorney to investigate your claim. There are certain statute of limitations and statutory notification provisions for certain slip or fall claims, and it is important you contact our office as soon as possible following the accident.
