Slip-And-Fall Accident Lawyers
In Connecticut, property owners, landlords and managers have obligations regarding the safety of premises under their possession and control. This is true whether the property owner is a private person, business or government entity. This responsibility is far-reaching and applies to the maintenance of areas such as parking lots, grocery store aisles and sidewalks. In the case of sidewalks, for example, owners, landlords and managers must do things like provide proper lighting, remove snow and ice, make necessary repairs and warn of dangerous conditions such as cracks, holes and uneven walking surfaces. When necessary and proper care is not taken, people can get hurt. Although unsafe property conditions cause all manner of injuries, the majority of accident victims are hurt by slips and falls. These accidents can occur in a variety of ways, including:
- Broken stairs and steps
- Icy sidewalks
- Poorly lit sidewalks
- Spilled liquid in grocery stores and retail shops
- Cracked concrete
- Accumulations of ice and snow
- Potholes in parking lots
At Appleton & Appleton, LLC, we help people and their families obtain compensation for these events. A trip or slip can happen in seconds, but the resulting injuries can affect innocent victims for years. If you have been hurt on public or private property due to a dangerous or defective condition, it is important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who knows the law and what is needed to protect and enforce your rights.
