Ogden Slip & Fall Accident Attorneys

Helping You Up After a Painful Slip & Fall

Property owners need to keep their properties reasonably clear of hazards that could cause a visitor to slip or trip and fall. Yet countless people across the country are hurt in slip and fall accidents every year. All it takes for a slip and fall hazard to become dangerous is a little bit of negligence, so property owners often overlook the importance of keeping their properties well maintained.

At Lowe Law Group in Ogden, we help people like you seek fair and justified compensation after a slip and fall accident has caused them to suffer a serious injury. We believe in the importance of holding property owners accountable for their mistakes when another person’s wellbeing is lost because of them.

We can file slip and fall accident claims and premises liability lawsuits against:

• Residential property owners
• Retail stores
• Grocery stores
• Commercial or office complexes

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere that negligence has allowed a property to become poorly maintained. Don’t think that just because your slip and fall accident was unique that a claim is not worth pursuing, either. Tell our team how you fell, and we can help investigate the accident and determine if the hazard was severe enough to warrant a claim or lawsuit.

We can help clients who have slipped or tripped on:

• Slippery floors
• Lifted carpets
• Cracked pavement
• Dark lighting
• Missing handrails
• Loose cables or wires

By determining the cause of your fall, we can also determine liability for it. We will want to show that the cause of your fall was an open and obvious hazard, which means you did not have to go to unusual lengths to reach the hazard and that it was clear enough that the property owner should have addressed it.

Can You Sue If You Slipped & Wet Floor Signs Were Out?

Many store owners try to counter slip and fall accident claims by saying that they had placed wet floor signs near the place of a claimant’s injury. Does this defense tactic work? Not always.

While placing a wet floor sign near a spill or slippery floor does help make customers aware of the danger, it is often not enough to protect them. Proprietors need to ensure the signs are noticeable before the hazard can be encountered. Additional steps should also be taken when reasonable, like cordoning off the area and instructing an employee to stand nearby and warn guests until the hazard is completely fixed.
