At Stutes & Lavergne, we represent people injured in all types of accidents, including slips, trips, falls, dog bites, and animal attacks.
If you are injured because of someone else's fault or because of a dangerous piece of property or equipment owned, operated or maintained by someone else, you should be compensated for your injuries. When someone is injured because another person races through a red light or fails to cover a hole in a floor, a basic negligence test is used to determine if that person is "at fault" under the law. And it's a test with which most people easily identify—whether that person's conduct fell below an acceptable standard of care for a reasonable person in like circumstances.
Always remember to complete an incident/accident report or contact the police any time you are injured on or by someone else's property. This helps ensure you are provided proper medical attention, document the facts, and preserve information.
