Virgin Islands Slip and Fall Lawyers
Slip, Trip, and Fall Injury Claims
Property owners—from hotel managers to landlords, retailers, and even government agencies that oversee public areas—have a responsibility to people who visit their premises. They must remove, repair, or warn of potential hazards on the property and conduct adequate maintenance to prevent accidents and foreseeable injuries. When they fail to do so, innocent people can be seriously hurt—and property owners can be held liable.
If you slipped and fell on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, poor property maintenance, or hazards that the property owner should have known about yet failed to remove or adequately warn you about, reach out to Fischer Redavid PLLC. Our Virgin Islands slip and fall lawyers represent tourists who have been injured in hotels and resorts, retail stores, restaurants, public parks, and other unsafe spaces. We also assist residents and workers who have been injured in serious slip, trip, and fall accidents. Get in touch with us today to learn how we can help you with your claim.
