Gainesville Trip & Fall Attorney

Trip & Fall Accidents Lawyer Serving Gainesville and Surrounding Areas

A trip and fall accident, similar to a slip and fall accident, is a type of premises liability accident, meaning that occurs on another's property due to a problem with the property itself. A trip and fall accident is especially dangerous for the elderly, because their bones are more brittle and take a longer time to heal, and for those with preexisting medical conditions, because injuries can often result in complications. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a trip and fall accident, it is important to consider your options and speak with an experienced Gainesville personal injury attorney.

Property owners are required by law to keep their property reasonably safe. Often, these trip and fall accidents are entirely preventable and only occur due to the property owner's negligence. Some examples of such instances are: broken tiles, torn or folded carpet, uneven walkways, walkway obstructions, inadequate lighting, unsteady stairway rails, and failure to clearly mark unsafe areas.  Some of the most common types of injury from a trip and fall accident are broken bones, fractured bones, back injuries and head injuries. These injuries can make it difficult to walk, work, and perform daily tasks as you are accustomed to doing.
