slip and fall accidents

Under the law of this Commonwealth, retail establishments, apartment complexes, restaurants, stores, gas stations, landlords, and other businesses have a legal obligation to ensure that their property is maintained in a reasonably safe condition. Often, businesses fail to fulfill this obligation. Examples of dangerous conditions that often lead to injury include spills that are not cleaned up in a timely fashion, broken areas of concrete and asphalt that are not repaired, improperly designed sidewalks, parking structures, and means of egress / ingress, and inadequate attempts to remove snow, ice, and other debris. 

If a business is negligent in maintaining its premises and an individual is injured, they have a cause of action to recover damages for reasonably related medical expenses, lost wages, impairment of their earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
