When Is an Akron Slip and Fall Accident a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

Under Ohio law (Section 2305.402), property owners owe a legal duty to keep their properties safe. If your severe injury happened on someone else’s property due to a negligent property owner who knew about a hazard, you may have a valid slip and fall case. Talk to a personal injury attorney to find out.

Common Places for Slip and Fall Accidents to Occur in Akron

Slip and fall accidents happen in retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, public parks, sidewalks, apartment buildings, parking lots, and private homes—anywhere a property owner fails to maintain safe premises.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall

Seek medical attention immediately. Save records of your medical treatment and document your injuries. File a report with the property owner. Don’t give a recorded statement to your own or the property owner’s insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. Then call our legal team—a slip and fall attorney is here to gather evidence and pursue your slip and fall lawsuit to recover compensation.

How Can Akron Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers Help Me?

If you’ve been seriously injured due to a property owner’s negligence, a personal injury lawyer can:

  • Guide you through the entire legal process and explain premises liability law
  • Investigate the accident scene and preserve evidence
  • Gather witness statements, incident reports, and medical records
  • Prove negligence and liability
  • Negotiate with insurance companies for maximum compensation
  • Represent you in court if necessary

How Long Do I Have to File an Ohio Slip and Fall Claim?

Ohio law (statute of limitations) limits filing a personal injury lawsuit to two years after the accident. Exceptions may apply, so consult a lawyer to make sure you don’t miss your deadline.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries in Akron

Common Slip and Fall Injuries in Akron

Slip and fall incidents can result in severe trauma, ranging from fractures and concussions to herniated discs. Common slip and fall injuries include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Amputations
  • Spinal cord injuries (from serious falls)
  • Soft tissue injuries

What Compensation Could I Receive?

Ohio follows a modified comparative negligence rule—slip and fall accident victims can recover damages if they’re less than 51% at fault for the incident. Compensation from a personal injury case may cover medical bills, future medical expenses, medications, physical therapy, physical pain and suffering, and lost income. In fatal cases, a wrongful death suit may also be pursued. Insurance companies may try to use comparative negligence to minimize payouts; a lawyer can help defend your rights.
