Portland Slip and Fall Attorneys

Experienced Oregon Accident & Injury Lawyers

You are browsing through a retail store, looking at the items on the shelves as you try to determine what to buy. Suddenly, your feet fly from under you and you land heavily on your back, possibly hitting your head or even breaking a wrist as you try to catch yourself. Perhaps there was a spill on the floor, or maybe it had just been waxed. Either way, there was no sign warning you and other shoppers of the potential danger. You may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

After a slip and fall accident, a victim will benefit from consulting a Portland accident lawyer as soon as possible. At the very least, it is important to take pictures of the scene (if possible), as the spill may be cleaned up or the hazardous situation may be fixed later on.

Property owners have an obligation to those who visit their property to reasonably ensure that the environment is safe. This may include inspections at reasonable intervals as well as property maintenance. Should a hazardous situation arise, the property owner has an obligation to have it repaired or to place warning signs in plain view if it cannot be repaired immediately. When a property owner is negligent in maintaining their premises, this may lead to slippery floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting in certain areas, broken tiles, loose floor mats, uneven stairways, cracks or holes in the pavement, standing water and ice.
