Holding Property Owners Accountable For Their Actions Or Inaction

A slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident can occur due to a variety of circumstances, both indoors and outdoors. When the cause of your fall was the negligence or reckless conduct of a property owner, you should consider pursuing legal action or at least speak to a qualified attorney like those at Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC.

Kentucky property owners have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions on their property. When they fail to do so and you or a loved one suffers an injury, our attorneys at Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, will uphold your rights in the insurance claim process or injury litigation to make sure you obtain the settlement or verdict you deserve.

Negligent Behavior Can Lead To Serious Injuries

A fall can occur in a variety of situations, including poor lighting, dangerous staircases, cracked sidewalks or pavement, broken railings, torn or ripped carpeting, ice and snow, and other hazardous situations. The injuries that can occur as a result of a bad fall could be anything from broken bones or torn ligaments to severe head, brain or spinal cord injuries and even death.

A Strategic Approach In Notoriously Difficult Cases

Following an injury caused by a fall, the following items must be proven to determine liability:

  • The property owner knew or should have known of the dangerous condition on their property.
  • The property owner failed to act to correct the danger or acted negligently in trying to address the problem.
  • An injury took place because of the dangerous condition or the owner’s negligence.

Personal injury lawsuits must be filed within a certain amount of time after the incident. Premises liability cases such as slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases typically have a one-year statute of limitations in Kentucky. However, you should contact our attorneys at Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, immediately because it is imperative that we obtain photographs and video of the scene of the accident and schedule a site inspection as soon as possible.
