When Property Owners or Managers Are Responsible for a Slip and Fall Accident

In Pennsylvania, property owners and managers have several responsibilities regarding the upkeep of their property and the safety of visitors or guests. State premises liability laws apply to:

Residential property owners; and
Owners or managers of commercial or industrial property.

Property owners must make a reasonable effort to ensure their property is free from hazards that may injure guests. If a danger emerges, property owners must address it immediately. If they cannot fix it right away, they must take steps to shield visitors from the hazard and warn them of it.

If the property owner or manager in your case failed to take these steps and you suffered injuries, you could have a valid slip and fall case. If so, the property owner could be liable for your damages.

Situations Where a Property Owner Is Not Liable for a Slip and Fall Accident

There are two circumstances when a property owner or manager could potentially avoid liability for injuries resulting from a slip and fall on their property.

You Were a Trespasser or an Uninvited Guest

While Pennsylvania property owners have a duty of care to guests, this duty does not extend to:

Trespassers; or
Uninvited guests who access the property without permission.

If you were injured while trespassing, you generally cannot hold the property owner liable.

However, there are two situations where a property owner could be liable for your damages:

They took steps to injure trespassers intentionally, such as rigging booby traps or otherwise knowingly creating an unsafe situation; or
The property featured an attractive nuisance, such as an unfenced swimming pool or trampoline.

You Were Intoxicated or Engaging in Reckless Behavior

If an intoxicated or reckless visitor suffers an injury on someone else’s property, the property owner or manager might avoid liability.

If you were the injured party, the property owner could try to use this argument as a reason to avoid liability. Our legal team can build a strong case that your injuries were not your fault.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in Doylestown

After a slip and fall accident, it is important to take the right steps to make sure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Seek Medical Attention

If you have not yet sought medical attention for your slip and fall accident, you should do so right away, even if you believe your injuries are minor and do not require a doctor’s care. This is because:

Many serious injuries do not appear immediately; and
You need to establish a clear link from your injuries back to your slip and fall accident.

This link helps you prove your case and win fair compensation. The more time that passes between your accident and a medical exam, the weaker the link becomes.

Consult With an Attorney

After you have received the medical care you need, schedule a free case evaluation with one of our attorneys. We will answer all your questions and, based on our evaluation of your case, inform you of your legal options and advise you on the best way forward.

We can help you pursue fair compensation for any of the following accident types and more:

Falls on wet or slippery floors;
Falls due to potholes or uneven pavement;
Falls on staircases with loose steps or missing handrails;
Falls due to unmarked hazards, such as a cord draped across the floor; or
Falls due to bad lighting or low visibility.

Our attorneys can help you pursue a settlement for all of the above situations and for any other type of slip and fall accident that occurred on someone else’s property. Call us at 215-642-2335 for a free case evaluation.

We Can Help You Pursue the Full Damages You Deserve.

Do you know the full scope of damages you deserve for your injuries? If you accept a settlement offer from the property owner or their insurer without first consulting with an attorney, you could end up leaving money on the table.

We help you calculate the full level of compensation you deserve—including money for losses you have not yet incurred, such as future medical bills. How much compensation you can recover in a slip and fall claim depends on your damages. Your award could include some or all of the following:

Current and future medical costs;
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity;
Pain and suffering;
Loss of consortium; or
Punitive damages.

Testimonials

I highly recommend the Cordisco & Saile law office. I had the pleasure to work with Michael Saile Jr. and his team over the last 4 years. Michael is the absolute best and never stopped fighting for me to ensure I receive a fair settlement. The entire team is fantastic. From Barbara, Michelle, and Joann, to finally working directly with Michael Saile, the Cordisco & Saile team provided first class support to us from start to finish.

As someone who has never had to contact an Attorneys office I can 100% say Barb made me feel comfortable, validated and cared for right off the bat. Her guidance and demeanor has been so welcoming and she has made me feel so comfortable with beginning this process. I am very new to this but I feel very genuinely well taken care of from people that WANT to help!

The staff at C&S LLC made me feel comfortable right away. I knew this was a group that had my best interest in mind. There’s a sense of security with them. In my case, the details needed immediate attention. They did not fail to meet that need. They kept me informed of everything that was happening. They were also easy to contact, and I received prompt & immediate replies. I can say this group was nothing less than stellar. I appreciate their help and fighting as hard as they did to get me the best settlement.
