What Our Clients Say
What Counts as a Slip and Fall Case in Ohio?
Slip and fall cases, also known as premises liability claims, arise when someone is injured due to unsafe or poorly maintained property conditions. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their spaces safe for visitors. When they fail, people get hurt.
Common slip and fall hazards include:
- Wet floors without warning signs
- Cracked or uneven sidewalks
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
- Loose carpeting or broken steps
- Ice or snow that hasn’t been cleared in a reasonable time
Whether you fell in a Columbus supermarket or slipped on icy steps in Marysville, we’ll help you build a case based on facts, not assumptions.
What Compensation Can You Receive After a Slip and Fall?
Slip and fall injuries are often more serious than people think, especially for older adults or individuals with pre-existing conditions. From fractures to spinal damage, the consequences can be long-lasting and costly.
In Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and surgery
- Physical therapy or rehabilitation
- Time off work or lost income
- Pain, suffering, and reduced mobility
- Permanent disability or long-term complications
We help clients in Delaware, Newark, Coshocton, and throughout Ohio seek full compensation for both immediate and ongoing losses. You have two years from the date of the fall to file a claim, but the earlier we can investigate the scene, the stronger your case can be.
Real Results for Ohio Families
Slip and fall cases are rarely straightforward. Property owners often deny fault, and proving liability means proving the condition was dangerous and that they knew or should have known about it.
At Harris Law, we investigate these claims with care and clarity. We examine surveillance footage, review maintenance logs, and visit the scene to document dangerous conditions before they’re fixed or covered up.
