Flaherty Fardo, LLC are experienced slip and fall attorneys. Understanding and being able to prove why the fall happened is essential to win these cases.
We have investigated and helped numerous victims of slip & fall accidents in western Pennsylvania, including cases against:
A “slip and fall” or “trip and fall” in Pennsylvania is the generic term for a personal injury which occurs when someone slips, trips or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property.
It includes falls as a result of water, ice or snow, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground. It also includes falling on uneven sidewalks, being injured because of a slippery floor in a restaurant, or getting injured because of poor lighting or unexpected objects in your way.
If you are a property owner and someone injures himself on your land, you may find yourself legally responsible for his or her injuries. If you are on someone else’s property and are injured as a result of a dangerous condition on the property, the land owner or business proprietor may be liable for your injuries.
Thousands of business owners across our state invite residents into their restaurants, shopping centers and/or stores. Since the owners are inviting these paying customers onto their premise, they have a legal duty to make sure that their property is safe for its intended use.
This legal duty includes keeping the sidewalks in front of their stores clear of ice and debris. In supermarkets, it means making sure that the aisles are dry and ready for customers to use. Too often, people are injured because of hidden defects in sidewalks, parking lots, and other surfaces. Injuries as a direct result of defective escalators or elevators can cause permanent and severe injuries.
Flaherty Fardo, LLC understands that slip and fall accidents can happen. However, if the accident was directly caused by the negligence of someone else, then personal responsibility cannot be ignored. Victims of slip and falls may have permanent injuries and a lifetime of medical expenses.
The most common permanent injuries are to the shoulders and arms, when the individuals try to brace themselves during the fall. A torn rotator cuffs are prime example of a permanent injury that can be caused by a slip & fall.
Pennsylvania law allows such victims the legal right to be compensated for their injuries.
It is always important to notify property owners and relevant insurance companies as soon as practically possible after an accident. If possible, a police report and/or incident report should be filed if anyone was injured.
If you have any questions about slip and fall accident in Pennsylvania, Flaherty Fardo offers free consultations. Consultations can be done on-line or by calling our offices at 412.802.6666.
I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
