Your slip and fall accident may have been caused by snow, ice, oil, wax, soapy water, or any number of foreign substances coating the floor or ground on which you were walking. You may have been caused to slip and fall by the failure of a landowner or tenant or general contractor to use safe, non-slip surfaces during the construction of a staircase, entranceway or other walking surface. Whatever slippery surface or substance caused you to fall, the law firm of The Bender Law Group will advise you as to the law that applies to your case, and will work diligently on your behalf to obtain just compensation for your injuries.
