- Negligent security: If you were injured on third-party premises due to lax security or inadequate safety measures, you may have grounds for a claim.
- Elevator and escalator accidents: If you slip, trip, or fall on an elevator or escalator that wasn't properly maintained or repaired, you may be entitled to compensation.
- Sidewalk and parking lot accidents: Poorly maintained sidewalks, driveways, curbs, ramps, and garages can result in harmful falls.
- Restaurant, hotel, and retail accidents: Premises liability claims can result from inadequate lighting, wet floors, improperly secured handrails, and other hazards in commercial settings and businesses.

Who Is Liable in a Slip & Fall Accident?
