Cincinnati Slip and Fall Lawyers
A serious fall is not a paperwork problem. It is an evidence problem.
A fall on unsafe property can leave lasting injuries. We investigate the condition, who controlled the property and what the responsible party knew or should have known.

YOUR CASE / OUR INVESTIGATION
We look beyond the incident form.
A wet floor, broken stair or other hazard does not automatically prove liability. The investigation must address the legal duty, the condition, notice and the circumstances of the fall.
Photographs and surveillance can be especially important when a condition is repaired or cleaned up. Preserve the precise location and what you saw before and after the incident.

↗QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
Cincinnati slip and fall questions.
01Does a fall automatically mean the property owner is liable?
No. Liability depends on the duty owed, the condition, notice and other facts. Ohio defenses can also affect the claim.
02What should I photograph?
The hazard, surrounding area, lighting, warnings and your footwear, if safe. Keep original files and the incident report information.
03What if the business repaired the hazard?
Tell us when the change occurred and preserve earlier photographs or witness details. A later repair does not by itself establish liability.
04What if I fell on public property?
Government entities can have immunity and other special rules. Identify the exact location and seek prompt review.
