Property owners and businesses have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to maintain safe premises for customers, visitors, and others lawfully on their property. When dangerous conditions are not properly addressed or visitors are not adequately warned, falls can result in serious and sometimes life-changing injuries. Peck Baxter represents individuals injured because of unsafe property conditions.

Our attorneys handle claims involving wet or slippery floors, snow and ice, defective stairs and handrails, uneven walkways, inadequate lighting, unmarked hazards, poorly maintained property, and other dangerous conditions. We investigate how the accident occurred, whether the property owner or another responsible party knew or should have known about the hazard, and whether reasonable measures were taken to prevent injury.

Slip and fall claims can involve disputed questions of notice, responsibility, and the extent of an injured person’s damages. Peck Baxter works to preserve important evidence, deal with property owners and insurance companies, and pursue fair compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, long-term impairment, and other losses caused by the accident.
