Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. If you were hurt because of a hazard someone should have fixed, you may have a case. We'll connect you with an attorney who can help — at no cost.
Takes less than 2 minutes. No cost, no obligation.
Premises liability covers a wide range of situations where property owners fail to maintain safe conditions.
Spills in grocery stores, mopped floors without warning signs, leaking roofs, and other slippery surfaces in businesses or public spaces.
Philadelphia winters create dangerous ice and snow conditions. Property owners are required to clear walkways within a reasonable time after storms.
Broken handrails, uneven steps, poor lighting, and missing treads. Staircase falls often result in serious injuries including fractures and head trauma.
Cracked sidewalks, potholes in parking lots, loose flooring, and uneven transitions between surfaces that create trip hazards.
Elderly residents who fall due to understaffing, wet floors, or lack of supervision. These falls can be life-threatening and may indicate negligence.
Falls caused by debris, exposed wiring, missing barriers, or open holes on construction sites near public walkways.
Three simple steps. No cost, no confusion, no commitment.

We connect you with a premises liability attorney in your area who handles slip and fall cases.
Your attorney contacts you for a free consultation to evaluate your case and explain your options.
To win a slip and fall case, you typically need to show that the property owner knew about the hazard (or should have known) and failed to fix it or warn visitors. This is called premises liability. An attorney can help you gather the evidence you need.
If possible, take photos of the hazard, get the names of any witnesses, report the incident to the property manager, and seek medical attention right away. Even if you don't think you're seriously hurt, some injuries — like concussions or soft tissue damage — may not show symptoms immediately.
If your fall happened on government property (a city sidewalk, public building, or government office), shorter notice deadlines apply. In Pennsylvania, you may need to file notice within 6 months. An attorney can ensure you don't miss any critical deadlines.
Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence. Even if you were partly at fault (e.g., you were looking at your phone), you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% responsible. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
