  1. SLIP AND FALL LAWYER RHODE ISLAND Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, LTD.

  2. It can happen anywhere, without warning—on a sidewalk, in the mall, in a restaurant, the grocery store, or at work—you trip on some obstacle or slip on a wet or over-polished surface and go down in a flash. Falls are among the most frequent causes of accidental injury and death in the United States. The National Safety Council (NSC) reports that nearly 9 million people visit a hospital every year because of a fall. That’s more than are treated for car accident injuries! Around 24,000 people per year lose their lives as the result of slip, trip, and fall accidents—that’s 15 percent of all accidental injuries.

  3. FALLS CAUSED BY PREMISES NEGLIGENCE Many fall injuries occur because of the negligence of a property owner or operator who has failed to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition and has caused or allowed a hazard to exist without either eliminating it or placing warning signs or barricades to protect people who are visiting or working on the property. If your accident was caused by a premises owner’s negligence, you are entitled to claim compensation for your damages.

  4. INJURIES CAUSED BY SLIP AND FALLS Slip trip, and fall accidents can cause many different types of injuries, including: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) Spinal cord injury Paralysis Neck and back injury Facial injuries Lacerations Scarring and disfiguration Hip Torn or stretched ligaments Broken arms, legs, and other bones Internal organ damage Death

  5. PREMISES NEGLIGENCE AS A CAUSE OF SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL ACCIDENTS It is the duty of owners, managers, and operators of properties where the public is invited or where workers are present to take precautions to ensure the safety of others on their property. Some of the causes of falls that can be attributed to negligence include: Slippery, wet pavement Over-waxed floors Loose gravel on pavement Uneven, cracked sidewalks Ice on walkways Stairs lacking a hand rail Spilled food or drinks Ripped, loose, or damaged carpet Potholes Electrical cords in walkways

  6. WHAT TO DO AFTER A FALL When you’ve fallen on someone else’s property as a result of their negligence, there are steps you can take to protect your interests and document the situation, in order to provide the needed proof for your claim: Take photos showing what caused you to fall. Get contact information for any witnesses. Report the injury to the owner or operator of the property in writing. Get prompt medical attention. (Have someone call an ambulance if necessary). Avoid giving a recorded statement to a company representative or insurance adjuster. Don’t sign any authorizations or releases until you have consulted an attorney. Consult a premises accident attorney as soon after the accident as possible.

  7. WHY YOU NEED A GOOD PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY Insurance companies fight fall injury claims routinely. A typical tactic is to attempt to place the blame for the fall on the injured person. Insurers are primarily concerned with profits, so it is in their interest to pay as little as possible in damage claims. They have sophisticated legal teams working for them, so you’ll need a good lawyer on your side to prove the premises owner’s liability along with your damages.
