Severe Falling Injuries in Maryland

Though the name may sound deceptively trivial, slip and fall accidents result in some of the most common and serious personal injuries. Perhaps due to ignorance, far too many property owners neglect to properly maintain their property in order to prevent injury. If you have experienced pain and suffering from an accident of this nature consult with a Columbia slip and fall lawyer to find out if you are entitled to damages.

How to Find the Responsible Party

Falls that result in serious injury are rarely the result of mere clumsiness. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions to a reasonable degree. Even if the accident occurs on ground maintained by a third party, like a sidewalk, property owners may be liable for not alerting the proper officials of unsafe conditions.

Just because you can see that an area is dangerous does not mean that you are at fault if you are injured while walking there. If the owner did not place up warning signs or close the area off completely, they are responsible for making dangerous areas easily accessible.

Slip & fall accidents can lead to minor injuries from which many will recover quickly. In some instances, however, the impact of the injuries sustained in these accidents can be life-long. Here are some common injuries sustained in slip & fall accidents:
