Fred B. Goldberg, P.C. — A Leading Slip and Fall Injury Law Firm
A woman slipped and fell because the sidewalk outside of her home had been paved at a sharper decline than the building code allowed. The momentum of the fall caused her to break her ankle. Due to complications from the broken bone, she developed an infection and experienced an infectious aneurysm. Our law firm was able to successfully seek compensation on behalf of her family — holding the property owner accountable for their negligence. The result was a $1.2 million settlement of a slip and fall case.
At the law offices of Fred B. Goldberg, P.C., we have helped many slip and fall victims in Washington, DC and throughout the State of Maryland, — like the woman above — recover jury verdicts and settlements in excess of a million dollars. When we take a slip and fall case, we pursue it aggressively. We have established excellent working relationships with architects, engineers, human factors experts, building code experts, and others to assist in the development and presentation of slip and fall cases.
We have successfully resolved slip and fall cases against restaurants, apartment building owners, stores, shopping centers, and other property owners. Sometimes the cause of a fall may be bad design that is not obvious to the naked eye. In reality, most people don't fall unless there is something out of the ordinary associated with the surface condition. We will work with experts to analyze the location and decide if a case can be brought.
We do this because we know a good result can mean a tremendous difference in quality of life for slip and fall victims. It can mean the capability to get needed medical care, to alter a house so that it is handicap accessible, and to arrange transportation that allows accident victims to continue to do the activities they once enjoyed.

Goldberg, P.C., we don't just settle cases. We prepare each case as though it is going to trial. This approach has helped us achieve a record of successful jury verdicts for our clients, as well as large-scale settlements that reflect our thorough trial preparation.
