I understand that as a person who visits a public space, a retail establishment patron, or a private home guest, it is not unusual to expect that the property owner will maintain the location in a relatively secure condition and free from potential danger.
The unfortunate truth is that accidents do occur, and many times, only because the owner of the owner of the property failed to make sure the premises are secure and safe.
More than one million Americans are injured…
The CDC estimates that more than one million Americans are injured in a “slip, trip, or fall” accident, and sadly, more than 17,000 people die in the United States each year due to these injuries.
If you, or a family member, suffered an injury in a slip and fall or a slip and trip accident, you may be eligible for compensation for the damages that were incurred and for pain and suffering. Our slip and fall attorneys understand the complex issues facing slip and fall victims and their families after an accident and have the required experience to handle these legal claims.

Factors Contributing to a Slip & Fall Accident

- Poorly maintained stairs, escalators, or elevators
- No handrails on stairs or steps
- Missing warning signs
- Failure to abide by federal, state, or local safety requirements
Injuries Expected In a Slip and Fall Accident
A slip-and-fall or slip-and-trip accident can occur anywhere, such as a place of employment, retail locations, an office building, an entertainment venue, or even a friend or family member’s home.
The above list illustrates that a slip-and-trip accident can occur for almost any reason, and the physical injuries sustained in these types of accidents can be similarly varied:
- Muscle sprains
- Torn ligaments
- Broken bones
- Bruising

First time getting in an accident, Taylor and the rest of the staff at Diaco made the process easy and painless. Fought and got me more than I originally was told. No police report and they still got me what I was owed. I can’t thank you all enough!

My case had complications due to having two accidents close to one another and one of the drivers being uninsured. Diaco Law got me a settlement that I was happy with and they were very good at protecting my interests through this turbulent situation.
