Connecticut Slip and Fall Lawyers

A slip and fall can result in unexpectedly severe injuries. Back problems, head injuries and broken bones are common consequences of a slip and fall. When an accident is caused by the property owner's or property maintenance company’s negligence, the injured person may be able to claim compensation for his or her injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Do not hesitate to seek legal advice

• Uncleared ice and snow

• Oil on floors
• Improperly waxed floors

MS patients and slip and fall injuries

We have developed a special focus on people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who experience slip and fall injuries. Because the cause and progression of MS is not known, insurance companies and property owners take refuge in saying that exacerbations of MS were not caused by the accident that resulted from their negligence. We consult with neurologists and other experts who are able to demonstrate to a jury that the slip and fall was the precipitating cause of MS or an exacerbation.
