Premises liability issues arise any time a dangerous condition on another's property causes someone to be injured. Common examples include floors that are wet, causing the victim to slip, or that are uneven, causing the victim to trip. Slip and fall cases are different from many personal injury cases, such as car accidents, because often it is difficult to corroborate the facts and determine fault. In car accidents, liability is typically determined on the scene and there are police reports to document the facts of the case. In slip and fall cases, it is the attorney's job to prepare a case that assigns liability.

Our lawyers are experienced in handling slip and fall accident cases in retail stores, supermarkets, or other premises and have handled a range of injuries, including back, neck, and broken bones.

To determine negligence, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the caretakers acted negligently. Most importantly, it must be shown that the store either had notice or should have had notice of the defect but did not take an appropriate standard of care in curing the defect. We will use the facts of your case to prove that the caretaker had knowledge but did not act in accordance with due standards of care. At Jaffe & Erdberg, P.C., our attorneys use investigative methods to prepare the facts of your case. We will speak to customers, obtain video surveillance tapes, and collect other evidence necessary to maintain that the premises caretakers were negligent.

If you or a loved one requires long-term or institutionalized care, our attorneys will pursue recovery for future health costs. At Jaffe & Erdberg, P.C, we have established relationships with various health care providers and can arrange for you to get treated and pay for the treatment out of your award so that you do not have up front medical costs.
