South Salt Lake, UT – A slip-and-fall accident happens when a person loses traction and drops to the ground, resulting in painful injuries and unexpected medical bills. It can occur in private and public property, whether retail stores, malls/shopping centers, business offices, parks, sidewalks, hospitals, homes, parking lots, and many more.
The causes of slip and fall accidents include torn carpets, floor damage, liquid spills, weather elements, a lack of safety equipment, improper/unclear signage, poor lighting, narrow stairs, changes in flooring, or other ground obstructions. A victim can experience minor cuts/bruises, puncture wounds, internal bleeding, lacerations, head/spinal/brain injuries, total physical incapacitation, or death in the worst cases.
Property owners and their insurance providers often have legal teams working to minimize their liability and payouts. Thus, a dedicated slip-and-fall attorney protects victims’ rights and obtains fair damages for their injuries.

The firm’s attorneys have extensive knowledge of Utah’s premises liability laws and techniques for building cases that hold property owners and responsible parties accountable. They have a proven track record of securing favorable resolutions for victims with integrity, honesty, open communication, and compassion.
Their slip-and-fall lawyers conduct a detailed investigation of an incident, gathering evidence such as property maintenance records, accident reports, witness statements, and surveillance footage. To determine liability, they assess the responsibilities of property owners, managers, and other parties, following the tenets of negligence.
Salt Lake Injury Law shows that a property owner had a duty of care to prevent harm to the plaintiff and that the defendant breached their duty by failing to make their premises safe, resulting in injuries. The personal injury attorney also calculates the damages, whether medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life. For a property owner to be held liable, they must have created the condition or known about the existence of an issue for a long time but didn’t correct it.
From there, the skilled negotiators work to secure fair settlements with liable parties. If they fail to yield, the attorneys take the case to court for litigation using legal strategies for a resolution.
