Fall Down Attorney Philadelphia, PA

Falling down is a fact of life, but when your fall is caused by someone else’s negligence, you have a right to take legal action. If your fall occurred because the property owner failed to take necessary safety measures or offer precaution about the danger, he or she can be held responsible for your injuries – and your medical bills.

The Law Office of Frederick L. Horn P.C. is experienced in helping fall down victims get the compensation they deserve. We have represented many people who have suffered injuries as the result of a fall. You should not be held responsible for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence – we can help.

Property Owners are Responsible for Injuries that Occur on their Property

It is the responsibility of a property owner to keep his or her property safe and free of hazards. If there could be a problem, the property owner must post a clear warning to be cautious. Any injury that occurs could make the property owner liable, which means he or she will be legally required to pay medical compensation, as well as compensation for missed time from work and pain and suffering.

Fall downs can occur anywhere at any time, result in significant injuries, and be caused by a variety of factors, such as slippery or wet surfaces, broken stairs, loose floorboards, debris, or missing handrails. If you or a loved one is injured in a fall down accident, you need the support of an experienced personal injury attorney.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can have catastrophic results. Victims of slip and fall have suffered debilitating injuries and in some cases, require lifelong physical therapy. These injuries are unexpected and can change a person’s life in the blink of an eye.

Whether the injuries from your slip and fall accident are minor or severe, you have the right to receive compensation for your injuries. If your injuries require medical attention, the person or organization responsible for the incident can be held accountable and be forced to pay for your medical treatment.

Business owners especially are expected to meet certain safety standards and take precautions to protect patrons. When businesses fail to live up to these stands, they can be held liable for the injuries caused by their negligence.

Insurance Companies are Not on Your Side

Businesses (and homeowners) have insurance to cover incidents that result in injuries, and victims receive payment from those insurance companies. Unfortunately, despite the property owner paying for their policy, the insurance company is usually reluctant to provide adequate compensation.

This is why it is so important to have the experienced representation of a slip and fall or fall down attorney – even if the insurance company seems to be on your side. Their number one priority is their bottom line, no matter what they say, and they will do whatever they can to reduce or eliminate your claim.

We can help you fight back against the insurance company and get the compensation you deserve to help with your medical expenses and other costs. The Law Office of Frederick L. Horn P.C. works with clients suffering from serious injury, permanent or temporary disability, and broken bones caused by fall downs. We’ll even assist you in filing a wrongful death claim if a loved one died as the result of his or her fall.
