Slip and fall accidents can happen at any time and in any place. Though the very young and very old are most susceptible to these kinds of falls, no one is immune from injury after a trip, slip, or fall.

Property Owners Have a Legal Duty to Keep You Safe We Stand Up for Your Rights
While a simple fall may not seem serious, slip-and-fall accidents can lead to devastating injuries—no matter your age or health. Falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits, accounting for approximately eight million in the United States every year.
Though many people blame themselves for these kinds of injuries, property owners and businesses have a legal obligation to create a safe environment for those who visit or those the owner invites onto the property. Hazardous conditions, such as unkept steps, icy walkways, broken railings, etc., can cause serious injuries that may become grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
If you suffered a slip and fall injury because of another person’s careless or negligent actions, you deserve compensation. Our slip and fall attorneys in Connecticut can provide you with experienced representation in your claim. Get in touch with us today to schedule a free consultation. Call 203-399-0000.

When to Pursue a Slip & Fall Injury Claim
A property owner’s negligence should not cause you financial losses. However, not everyone who falls in a store, in a parking lot, on a sidewalk, or in someone’s home has legal grounds to file suit, so discuss your case with one of our attorneys. Our Connecticut slip and fall attorneys will help determine where the fault lies.
Who Is Responsible for Your Safety?
If you are injured on someone else’s property, your legal rights depend on your status as a visitor. Connecticut law categorizes visitors into three groups:
Invitees
An invitee is someone invited onto the property for business or mutual benefit (e.g., customers in a store). Property owners must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Avoid intentional harm to invitees.
- Exercise due care once the invitee is present.
- Warn invitees about known dangers on the property.
Licensees
A licensee is someone who enters the property with permission, such as a social guest. Property owners owe similar responsibilities to licensees as they do to invitees, ensuring they do not create hazards or cause intentional harm.
Trespassers
Property owners in Connecticut owe significantly less responsibility to trespassers, but they must still follow these rules:
- They cannot intentionally harm a trespasser.
- They must exercise due care once they are aware of a trespasser’s presence.
- They do not have to warn trespassers about property hazards.

ContactProtections for Children on Private Property
Even if a child is trespassing, property owners have a greater duty of care. If a dangerous condition exists and a property owner has reason to believe a child might enter the property, they must correct the hazard to prevent harm.
