Slip and Fall Accident Attorneys Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve
Trusted Legal Support for Injured Victims
A slip and fall accident can change your life in seconds—causing painful injuries, lost income, and long-term complications. At Kelleher + Holland, LLC, our premises liability attorneys help injured victims hold negligent property owners accountable. Whether you fell in a store, on a sidewalk, or at someone’s home, you may be entitled to significant compensation under the law.
Understanding Slip and Fall Claims
Slip and fall accidents fall under premises liability law, which requires property owners to maintain safe conditions for guests, customers, and tenants. If you were injured due to a dangerous condition—such as a wet floor, broken stair, or icy walkway—you may have a legal claim.
To succeed in a slip and fall lawsuit, you must show:
-
The property owner or manager knew or should have known about the hazard
-
They failed to fix or warn about the dangerous condition
-
That negligence directly caused your injuries
Our attorneys handle the investigation, gather evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf—so you can focus on healing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall claim?
If you were injured due to a hazardous condition that should have been addressed by a property owner, you may have a valid claim. Our attorneys can evaluate the circumstances of your fall and help determine your options.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos of the scene, gather witness contact information, and contact a slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible.
Is there a time limit to file a slip and fall lawsuit?
Yes. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state, but typically you must file within 2 years of the incident. Acting quickly helps protect your rights and preserves key evidence.
Can I still sue if I was partially at fault?
Possibly. Under comparative negligence laws, you may still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident.
