What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

Seek medical attention from a healthcare provider as soon as possible after the fall, photograph hazards at the accident scene for documentation, and report the accident immediately to property owners. Follow up with a call to our law office for a free case evaluation.

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

Under Ohio’s premises liability law (Section 2305.402), property owners and management companies have a legal duty to keep their properties safe; they are responsible for serious injuries caused by hazards on their property, except for trespassers. This includes fixing hazards or putting up warning signs. Current building codes must also be followed to avoid negligence.

If your injury was due to a property owner’s negligence, and the property owner knew of the hazard but failed to warn visitors, you may have a case to recover damages (both economic and non-economic). Property owners owe a duty of care to visitors, and they should be held accountable when a failure to uphold this duty results in liability. Talk to a slip and fall accident attorney at our personal injury law firm to see if you have a valid personal injury case.

Common Places for Slip and Fall Accidents to Occur in the Dayton Area

Slip and fall incidents account for over 1,000,000 ER visits annually across the county. You may have a valid slip and fall case if your accident occurred in a place like a retail store with cluttered aisles, a shopping mall with uneven flooring, a restaurant with wet floors, a bar with spilled drinks, a grocery store with fallen produce, a public park with broken pathways, a recreational area with unsafe equipment, a sidewalk with cracks or ice, a rental unit with broken stairs or poor lighting, a poorly maintained parking garage, or private property with an unaddressed hazardous condition.

How Can Dayton Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers Help Me?

If a slip and fall accident occurred on private, public, or commercial properties, and you’ve been seriously injured, a Dayton personal injury lawyer can provide legal representation. To help trip and fall victims, we:

  • Provide legal guidance to seek compensation from liable parties
  • Investigate the accident scene, take witness statements, and gather critical evidence like medical records and an incident report (an attorney can demand and preserve time-sensitive evidence after an accident)
  • Prove liability to hold an at-fault party accountable
  • Determine the value of your slip and fall injury claim
  • Negotiate with the insurance company for fair compensation
  • Ensure timely filing of the claim

Most personal injury claims settle in negotiation, but if yours does not, we can represent you in court to secure maximum compensation.

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

According to the Ohio statute of limitations, personal injury victims generally have two years from the date the slip and fall accident happened to file a personal injury claim, though exceptions may apply. Consulting an experienced attorney is essential to ensure you meet the deadline and can seek a fair settlement.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries in Dayton

Common Slip and Fall Injuries in Dayton

A slip and fall attorney handles premises liability claims for clients with severe injuries. These can range from sprains and strains, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries to more severe conditions like head injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), back injuries, neck injuries, and spinal cord injuries (SCIs). In the most tragic cases, these accidents can even lead to wrongful death.

What Compensation Could I Receive for My Slip and Fall Accident Claim?

If you’ve been injured in a serious fall caused by someone else’s negligence, a personal injury lawsuit can help you win fair compensation for bodily injuries sustained. This can cover medical costs for hospitals, emergency room visits, medications, physical therapy, and medical bills for future medical care. You can also pursue compensation for lost income, permanent disability, and future wages if you are unable to work and carry on daily life. Property damage claims can cover repairs for your personal items.

In fatal cases, responsible parties can be held liable in a wrongful death claim. In some circumstances, punitive damages may also be awarded to injured individuals.
