Slip and Fall Accident

Those businesses and individuals who fail in their legal duty to provide a reasonably safe condition of property or do not provide adequate warning that conditions may be unsafe are considered "negligent" under the law. Premises liability covers a comprehensive range of suits for injuries caused by a property owner's failure to warn, maintain and correct situations on public and private premises. Improperly maintained or unsafe property; violent crime resulting from inadequate security and dog bites from unrestrained animals are all examples of injuries that occur because of property owners' negligent behavior.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death refers to a fatality that occurs because of the negligence or misdeeds of another person, corporation or entity. Consideration is given to the earnings the deceased would have provided to their family had they lived and the amount of financial compensation is awarded to survivors based on this monetary loss. Survivors may also receive damages for medical and funeral expenses for the victim, estate administration expenses, survivor's emotional pain, suffering, and punitive damages (intentional harm judged to be exemplary).

Babcock Law Firm has the skills and resources necessary to investigate and prove the required elements of negligence.
