Experienced Durham Slip and Fall Lawyers on Your Side

Have you been injured in a slip and fall accident in Durham due to someone else’s negligence? You may be entitled to significant compensation – but the at-fault insurer is protecting their own interests, not yours. One of our experienced Durham personal injury attorneys can handle the insurance company for you and greatly increase your odds of receiving maximum compensation.

A slip and fall accident could happen almost anywhere and when you least expect it, often leading to painful and debilitating injuries that require costly medical care and other damages. Ideally, you wouldn’t need a slip and fall lawyer because you should be able to file an insurance claim with the at-fault insurer and receive full compensation for any costs arising from your injury.

But the law in North Carolina can put you at a serious disadvantage. If the insurance company can show you were even 1% at fault for the slip and fall, they may try to deny you any compensation whatsoever, no matter how bad your injuries may be.

Our Durham slip and fall accident lawyers know how to counter the insurance company’s tricks and traps. To see how much your case may really be worth, contact us online or call 1-866-900-7078 today.

Slip and Fall Accidents and “Premises Liability”

Premises liability in North Carolina means that the owners or occupiers of a Durham property are generally responsible for any hazardous conditions on their premises that could lead to you being injured. If you are injured on their premises due to these conditions, they could be liable for the injuries that you sustain if they were aware or should have been aware of the dangerous aspect of their property.

Some of the most common hazardous conditions that can lead to injury include:

• Wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces
• Bad lighting
• Stairs without handrails
• Debris-filled rooms and cluttered hallways
• Weather-created conditions, such as an icy driveway
• Broken appliances and furniture in busy areas
• Poor compliance with needed maintenance, leading to dangerous conditions such as an exploding furnace

If you have slipped and hurt yourself on someone else’s property and believe that they knew or should have known that the dangerous condition existed (perhaps there was a prior injury or complaint), then you should contact an attorney to discuss seeking compensation for your injury.

Common Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Accidents

Some of the most common injuries that result from slip and fall accidents include:

• Brain injuries and head trauma
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Broken hips, wrists, and other bones
• Facial trauma and disfigurement
• Joint dislocations
• Sprains, strains, and tears
• Cuts, contusions, and bruises
• Knee injuries
• Catastrophic injuries
• Psychological trauma
• And death if the fall is from a significant height

If you fell because someone else’s negligence created a dangerous environment, we can give you our professional opinion on whether you have a case and should seek compensation – at no cost or obligation. Our Durham personal injury team has helped many people in the Bull City who have suffered from these and other slip and fall injuries. We can help you, too.
