If you have been hurt in a slip and fall accident, we at Flaherty Law are prepared to get you back on your feet by helping you seek fast, fair compensation from all responsible parties.

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents are part of an area of personal injury law known as premises liability. The most basic tenet of premises liability holds that a property owner or occupier is ultimately responsible for the safety and well-being of those who enter into or onto the property. When actions or negligence by the owner lead to injuries sustained by guests and visitors, the owner can and should be held fully liable. Premises liability pertains to private homeowners, as well as to commercial proprietors and, often, management of a store, office, restaurant, or bar.
