Over one million people are seen in the emergency room yearly due to slips, trips, and falls. There is no denying the complications that can arise from a slip and fall, causing traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, knee, wrist, and back injuries. Given the severity of these injuries, you may be unable to work for several weeks or months, resulting in financial hardship for you and your family.

Slip and fall injuries can create more issues than just a strain on your bank account. Our injury lawyer at DiBartolo Law in Philadelphia understands the distress a slip and fall can place on your life. If you or a loved one has recently fallen victim to a slip and fall, do not hesitate to contact Attorney Philip A. DiBartolo, Jr, today.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries

DiBartolo Law represents clients sustaining slip and falls from the following:

Common Injuries in a Slip and Fall Accident

Individuals who have sustained a slip and fall may experience any of the following injuries:

Duty of Care Owed by Philadelphia Property Owners

Both public and private property owners in Philadelphia must warn visitors of any known hazards on their property, except for trespassers. To recover damages as an injured party, you must show that the property owner owed you a duty of care and breached said duty, thereby causing you harm. If no duty of care exists, your injuries will not be compensable. The city of Philadelphia is secondarily responsible for all sidewalk defects.

According to premises liability law, visitors can be divided into three groups:

Invitees: Individuals allowed to use the property without the owner’s express or implied invitation. Invitees are often referred to as customers and are owed the highest duty of care. A property owner must warn invitees of any known dangers or any dangers that the property owner should have discovered through reasonable care.

Licensees are individuals who enter the property with the landowner’s permission. Also known as social guests, a property owner is liable for a licensee’s injuries if the owner knew or should have known about the danger, failed to remedy the situation, and the licensee had no reason to be aware of the hazard.

Trespassers: Someone who does not have the owner’s permission to be on the property is a trespasser; landowners have no duty of care to them aside from not intentionally causing the trespasser harm.

Compensation for Physical, Financial, and Emotional Harm

What you may not realize is that a slip and fall can result in catastrophic injuries, causing permanent disability. The treatment costs for a slip and fall can easily exceed tens of thousands of dollars. If you bear the burden of paying these costs alone, you may be unable to take your dream vacation, pay for your child’s college education, or retire on schedule.

The responsible party should be held accountable for your injuries, but that will not happen without you first showing the severity of your injuries and economic and non-economic losses.
