Slip and Fall

Since 1936, the law offices of Keller & Keller have represented clients who wished to seek compensation as the result of an injury that resulted from another party's dangerous or hazardous property conditions. A slip and fall case, also known as "premises liability," is a claim brought against a party or entity for the negligent design, operation or upkeep of their property.

Contact Keller & Keller for a FREE consultation regarding your Slip and Fall accident. There is no obligation to hire a lawyer and your contact is strictly confidential. We offer our legal services on a contingent fee basis which is simply a percentage of the money recovered. We have NO up-front fees. In fact, there is no fee until our personal injury attorneys recover fair compensation for you.

Though a slip and fall accident may not produce any visible sign of injury, it is important that you seek medical and legal consultation should there be any future occurrence of aftereffects. Most slip and fall accidents happen in commercial locations but can also occur on private property. The following locations or conditions are often attributed to a slip and fall:

• Wet, icy, and/or slippery conditions
• Walkways with broken or uneven pavement/concrete
• Elevator/escalator accidents
• Improper traffic patterns
• Inadequate lighting
• Falling merchandise
• Failure to provide adequate security
• Hotels/Motels
• Shopping Malls/Department Stores
• Amusement Parks
• Schools
• Parking Garages/Ramps
• Grocery Stores/Supermarkets
• Office Buildings

Without an attorney, premises liability cases are extremely difficult to prove, and even harder to prevail upon.  Many public properties are strongly outfitted with detailed waivers, experienced defense attorneys, and big insurance companies that will all do their best to deny your claim.

Hiring an experienced attorney is the first step you can take to ensure that valuable evidence is not lost, proper photgraphs are obtained, expert witnesses are retained, and resources are provided to you.  Without an experienced law firm on your side, you can easily be left with thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills.   

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as the result of a slip and fall, the law offices of Keller & Keller are available to you for a free, confidential consultation with an attorney from our firm who is experienced in handling personal injury claims. You can either contact us by phone at 1-800-2KELLER or through the use of our Free Case Evaluation submission form.

Should you decide to retain our services after the initial consultation, we will work on a contingent fee basis. This means that our offices will only be paid for our services once we make a recovery on your behalf from the insurance company.
