Falls are the second leading cause of accidental deaths, ranking behind only car accidents. Liss & Marion recently won several cases involving different types of hazards including spills on floors, dangerous stairways, uneven sidewalks, and icy conditions.

Attorney Ricky Liss said, “To win a case, we must prove the nature of the condition that caused the fall. The property owner is not necessarily legally responsible just because someone falls on the premises. We present evidence to prove that the condition was hazardous and that the property owner knew or should have known about the danger. We need photographs, witnesses and/or experts to prove that a property owner is negligent.”

With winter approaching, be careful and avoid ice and snow. However, if you fall, take photos of the scene and call Liss & Marion immediately.
