Attorney Jim Belliveau, Pittsburgh

Slip and Fall Injury

Lawyers find that people may be reluctant to seek help for injuries they suffer in a fall, believing that they may be responsible for the fall. However, it is the responsibility of store management, property owners, and homeowners to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of people on their property.

If you were injured in a fall or other pedestrian accident on public or private property and would like to speak with me about a possible claim, contact my Pittsburgh office to make arrangements for a free consultation and case evaluation.

When you are walking down a sidewalk, or riding an escalator in a shopping mall, you are not obligated to look for hazards. In fact, often the management has intentionally attracted your attention to a display above the level of the hazard. Slip and fall claims may involve an elevator or escalator accident caused by poor maintenance or design defects; a sidewalk hazard causing a slip on ice; tripping on dark or uneven stairs; a fall from a ladder or scaffold on a construction site; a slippery grocery aisle; or debris in a parking lot.

It is important to pursue a slip and fall injury claim (a premises liability claim) as soon as possible after the accident, while evidence is still available and witnesses remember the incident clearly. At my Pittsburgh law firm I offer clients the resources and the experience necessary to build a strong case. As a personal injury attorney I am committed to helping my clients recover the compensation they need to take care of themselves and their families.
