What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in Springdale, Arkansas
The Springdale slip and fall attorneys at the Law Office of Jason M. Hatfield have outlined common causes of slip and fall accidents in Arkansas and identified the key steps to take after getting injured.
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, including your home, a person’s property, store, restaurant, airport, bus terminal or at work.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents are:
• Weather conditions
• Snowy or icy parking lots
• Poor lighting-unmarked slip hazards
• Slippery floors and stairs-torn or ripped entrance mats
• Uneven walking surfaces
• Poorly maintained carpeting or flooring
• Faulty and defective handrails
• Poor plumbing
After a slip and fall accident, act quickly to get medical treatment and create a paper trail of your injuries. You have three years to file a claim, starting from the date of your accident.
A slip and fall attorney can help you organize records to determine your damages and analyze documents to prepare a solid case. Under Arkansas comparative negligence laws, an injured party will not be able to recover compensation if they are more than 50 percent responsible in a slip and fall accident. Property owners may be financially liable for injuries in a slip and fall accident if they fail to:
• Inspect the property regularly
• Fix identified hazards in a timely fashion
• Keep people visiting the property away from potential risks.
A property owner may engage in several arguments to counter a slip and fall lawsuit, such as:
• The dangerous condition should have been apparent.
• The business blocked off the hazardous condition with signs and cones.
• The plaintiff was not paying attention, texting while walking, entered a closed part of the property and ignored warning signs.
Contact a Springdale slip and fall attorney to determine if you have a case.
