Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Seattle Slip & Fall and Premises Liability Lawyer

The owners of homes and commercial buildings have a responsibility to ensure that their property is safe from any hazards that can cause a slip & fall injury. When they fall short in that responsibility, they should be held accountable. The attorneys at The Walthew Law Firm in Seattle, Washington advocate for clients injured due to premises liability.

Timing is everything in handling a premises liability case. Immediately following your injury, information must be gathered. If you are able, try to locate the hazard that caused your injury and witnesses who may have seen you fall. If the property owner was aware of the hazard or should have been reasonably aware of any dangers, they should be held accountable for the injuries you suffered.

At The Walthew Law Firm, we take a hands-on approach to your case. Our team of attorneys and paralegals will conduct a detailed investigation and interview witnesses. This may include expert witnesses, as needed, depending on the nature of what created the hazardous conditions.

A property owner's negligence can create a dangerous setting on their property. While some may assume that a slip & fall accident only constitutes a minor mishap, serious injuries and death have occurred from something as simple and preventable as a fall. If you are injured or have lost a loved one and you believe the owner of the property is liable, you need immediate and aggressive representation.

Please know that if your premises liability accident occurred at your workplace, you will be entitled to file a Workers' Compensation claim and may be entitled to file for Social Security Disability if your injuries keep you out of work for a year or more.
