Albany Slip and Fall Accident Attorney
Albany Slip and Fall Accidents
Suffering an injury in a slip and fall accident can greatly affect a victim's way of life. A once mobile, healthy individual may be unable to move or walk without assistance. Victims who were completely independent may now have to rely on the help of friends and family to perform even the simplest daily task. Victims may be robbed of their prime working years and may never be able to return to their former profession.
Slip and fall accident victims may feel their situation is hopeless, but the Albany injury attorneys at the law firm of Estey Bomberger have helped many injured victims in similar situations. We have more than 70 years collective litigation experience that can be put to work recovering compensation. There is no sum of money that can undo the pain of a serious injury, but compensation can ensure victims current and future medical needs are met. Additionally, financial compensation can be obtained for lost earnings, disfigurement, diminished quality of life, and pain and suffering.
Types of Albany Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are typically grouped into three different types: slip and fall, trip and fall, and step and fall. A slip and fall accident occurs because of a disconnect between the foot and floor. Oil, water, grease, gravel or even an inherently slippery walking surface can cause a foot to lose connection with the floor. An object on the floor, a piece of torn carpeting or an uneven sidewalk can cause a person to trip and fall. Step and fall accidents are the result of either a hole in the floor or failure of the walking surface. Potholes are a common cause of step and fall accidents.
