These cases can be complex and require careful review of the medical records, treatment provided and circumstances involved.

A seemingly minor property hazard can result in a serious injury. Wet floors, defective stairs, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting and other dangerous conditions may contribute to falls and other accidents. Whether a property owner or another party may be legally responsible depends on the specific circumstances, including the nature of the hazard and what the responsible party knew or should have known.
