Pennsylvania Slip

and Fall Lawyers

A fall can cause far more than a temporary setback. Fractures, surgery, and

lasting mobility problems can affect work, independence, and the ability to

care for family. CGBAG Law Personal Injury Group evaluates falls and other

injuries involving unsafe property conditions.

A Fall Alone Does Not

Establish Responsibility

These cases depend on the circumstances. Important questions include what

caused the fall, who controlled the area, whether someone created the condition,

and what the responsible parties knew or should have known.

The condition of the property and the injured person's actions may both require investigation.

Evidence Can Change Quickly

A spill may be cleaned, a broken surface repaired, or video overwritten. When possible, preserve photographs showing the condition and its surroundings, names of witnesses, the incident report, and relevant shoes or clothing. Describe what you actually observed rather than guessing why it happened.

Looking Beyond the Property Owner

Depending on the facts, a business, tenant, property manager, maintenance company, or contractor may have a role. Investigation can include leases, maintenance records, inspection practices, work orders, and information about who was responsible for the area.

Stairs, Entrances, Floors, and Outdoor Conditions

We review falls involving stairs, handrails, doorways, flooring, walkways, parking areas, snow, and ice. The applicable duties and available defenses vary. Identifying a condition that looks unsafe is the beginning of the analysis, not a promise that a claim will succeed.

Common Questions After a Fall

What if there was a warning sign?

The sign's presence is one part of the circumstances. Its placement, visibility, the condition, and the available route may matter. Preserve a photograph if possible.

What if I cannot identify the maintenance contractor?

Contact us with the location, date, and available documents. Identifying who controlled or maintained the area can be part of investigating the claim.

How long do I have to act?

Many Pennsylvania injury actions have a two-year limitations period, but the applicable deadline and any other notice requirements need individual review. Seek advice promptly; evidence may disappear well before a filing deadline.
