Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Slip and fall accidents are particularly common. They can happen anywhere and cause great personal harm. Most occur in commercial settings: grocery and drug stores, office buildings, construction sites, gas stations, and malls, among other places. But they also happen on private property.
Unfortunately, when it comes to injuries on another's property, slip and fall accidents are just the beginning. Other serious incidents include exposure to toxic materials, animal attacks, swimming pool accidents, and amusement park ride accidents. Indeed, these happen so often that an entire area of law -- premises liability -- exists to address the harm they cause, and place accountability where it belongs: on the property owners who did not live up to their duty to keep the premises safe.
Yet while accidents may happen quickly, redress often does not. The good news is that the chances of obtaining a fair and speedy recovery are greatly increased when an experienced law firm is there to help. A firm that knows how to investigate -- promptly -- the dangerous conditions that caused harm; how to negotiate just settlements with property owners and insurance companies; and how, when necessary, to litigate cases with dedication and zeal.
At Mary Alexander & Associates, we've been protecting and enforcing the rights of injured clients for more than a quarter of a century. We know how to negotiate, how to litigate, but most of all, we know that the interests of our clients always come first. Because that's our duty: to use our best efforts, experience, and courtroom savvy to obtain an optimal recovery. And that's one duty that has never been breached.
