If you fell because of a wet floor, a broken stair, poor lighting or another hazard that a property owner should have fixed, Yerushalmi Law Firm can investigate what happened and fight for the compensation you deserve.<\/p><h2>Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents<\/h2><ul><li>Spills and wet floors with no warning signs<\/li><li>Torn carpet, loose mats and uneven flooring<\/li><li>Broken or poorly lit stairways<\/li><li>Cracked sidewalks, potholes and uneven pavement<\/li><li>Cluttered aisles and blocked walkways<\/li><li>Missing or broken handrails<\/li><\/ul><h2>Injuries We See<\/h2><p>Falls often cause broken wrists, hips and ankles, head and brain injuries, back and spinal injuries, and torn ligaments. For older adults in particular, a fall can lead to a long and difficult recovery.<\/p><h2>Who May Be Responsible<\/h2><p>A claim may be brought against the person or company that owns, leases, manages or controls the place where you fell, such as a store, apartment building, restaurant or parking lot. We look at who was responsible for keeping the area safe and who knew about the hazard.<\/p><h2>What To Do After a Slip and Fall<\/h2><ul><li>Get medical attention right away, even if you think you were not badly hurt.<\/li><li>Report the fall to the owner or manager and ask for an incident report.<\/li><li>Take photos of the hazard, the area and your injuries before anything is cleaned up or repaired.<\/li><li>Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing.<\/li><li>Get contact information from any witnesses.<\/li><li>Do not sign anything or give a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.<\/li><li>Contact an attorney quickly, because surveillance video can be erased and deadlines for filing a claim apply.<\/li><\/ul><h2>How Yerushalmi Law Firm Can Help<\/h2><p>We handle every step of your claim, from preserving video and records to negotiating with insurers and, when needed, taking your case to trial.
