Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer in Idaho

Have you been injured in a slip and fall accident on another person's property? An Idaho injury attorney at our law firm can help. We represent victims who have slipped, tripped and fallen on the property of another person or an establishment of some kind, such as a retail store, restaurant, office building, etc. There are certain circumstances where an incident of this kind will offer a victim grounds to seek financial damages for his or her injuries through a personal injury claim.

If you are injured in a slip and fall accident because a property owner or a business establishment fails to provide a safe environment, you may have a right to bring a claim for damages resulting from your injury. Damages may include pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost wages. Slip and fall accidents are commonly classified as "premises liability" cases. When a property owner or custodian doesn't maintain or repair property, creating a reasonable risk to people visiting the property, someone may become injured. Laws that regulate premises liability require a safe environment for individuals on the premises and these laws pertain to businesses as well as homeowners.
