Talk to Barbourville, Knox County Lawyers About Your Slip and Fall Accident

Helping You Recover Damages for Your Kentucky Slip and Fall Case

Slip and fall accidents are filed under something called “premises liability” in the eyes of the law. However, for you — the victim — a slip and fall accident simply means you were injured while out shopping, taking a walk, or even visiting a friend or acquaintance. One minute you were fine and the next, you found yourself on the floor, in pain. You know the fall wasn’t your fault, but it doesn’t change the fact that you were injured.

The slip and fall attorneys at Copeland & Romines understand and sympathize with your situation. Serving Barbourville and Knox County, we fight for our clients to win compensation for their accidents. You should never have to suffer or pay for the negligence of others. Contact our offices today to discuss your case.

What is Premises Liability?

Your personal injury attorney will explain the details, but here is a brief overview of premises liability. Premises liability means that a property owner is responsible for keeping their property free from hazardous or dangerous conditions. Owners have the responsibility to clear up tripping hazards, slippery substances, snow and ice, or repair faulty stairs or walkways.

There are also several factors that influence whether or not a property owner was negligent. Typically, one or all of the following must be true:

• The property owner caused the dangerous condition (like a spill or newly waxed floor)
• The owner knew about the hazardous condition but failed to correct it (for example, ice on the sidewalk but didn’t salt or clear it)
• The owner was notified about the danger but didn’t repair it (like a ripped or curled up piece of carpeting that was a tripping hazard)

If you were hurt in a slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s premises due to a property owner’s negligence, get in touch with an experienced personal injury attorney today.
