Why Hire a Slip and Fall Lawyer?

Insurance companies want you to believe a fall is “just an accident.” But under Rhode Island law, property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe — and when they don’t, they can and should be held liable.

A slip and fall lawyer will help you:

• Prove the property owner knew (or should’ve known) about the hazard
• Build a timeline and collect evidence before it disappears
• Negotiate with the insurance company to maximize your claim
• Take your case to court if a fair offer isn’t made

Don’t let them walk away from responsibility. We won’t.

What Is Premises Liability in Rhode Island?

Premises liability is the legal concept that property owners must maintain safe conditions for people on their property. If they fail — and you get hurt as a result — they may be liable for your damages.

You may have a case if you were injured due to:

• Wet or slippery floors
• Icy sidewalks
• Uneven pavement or broken stairs
• Poor lighting in walkways or stairwells
• Loose handrails or unmarked hazards

We’ll help you determine whether the property owner breached their duty of care — and what you can do about it.

What Compensation Can You Receive?

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

We pursue full compensation for:

• Medical bills (past, current, and future): Covers ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, medications, and specialist care tied to your injury.
• Lost wages and reduced earning potential: If you missed work — or can no longer work the same job — we’ll fight to recover your income loss.
• Pain and suffering: Chronic pain, reduced quality of life, and physical limitations deserve real compensation.
• Rehabilitation and ongoing treatment: We account for physical therapy, counseling, or in-home care — even months after the fall.
• Emotional distress or anxiety: Trauma, panic, or loss of confidence in mobility can deeply affect your day-to-day life.
• Out-of-pocket expenses: We help recover costs like transportation to medical visits, assistive devices, or home modifications.
  

Slip and Fall Injuries We Commonly Handle

Slip and fall injuries can be more serious than people think — especially for older adults or victims with prior medical conditions. We’ve helped clients recover from a wide range of injuries, both visible and hidden.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere — in stores, parking lots, apartment buildings, or workplaces — and are often caused by someone else’s negligence.

Frequent causes include:

• Wet floors without warning signs
• Ice or snow not removed in a timely manner
• Cracked or uneven sidewalks
• Loose carpeting or floorboards
• Broken staircases or missing handrails
• Dim lighting in high-traffic areas
• Spills that aren’t cleaned up promptly

Property owners must identify and fix these hazards — or face legal consequences when someone gets hurt.
