Montgomery Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our Montgomery slip and fall accident lawyer understands how one simple fall can change your life in seconds. According to the CDC, falls are a leading cause of emergency room visits, impacting millions of people every year. For families in Montgomery County, these accidents can be especially difficult, often leading to serious injuries, expensive medical bills, and lost wages. Under Alabama’s premises liability laws, property owners must keep their spaces safe for visitors. When they fail in this duty, injured individuals have the right to seek justice. When a property owner's negligence causes harm, we help our clients hold them accountable and recover full compensation for their damages.

Slip and fall cases involve more than just proving a fall happened. They require strong evidence, detailed investigation, and an understanding of local legal rules. Our personal injury law firm focuses on these complex claims, representing victims of slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall, and other dangerous situations caused by unsafe conditions. At Krebs Law, we protect your rights, guide you through the legal process, and fight for the fair settlement you deserve.

Our Montgomery Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer Fights for Your Rights

At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we fight hard for accident victims in Montgomery County who suffer due to negligence. Insurance companies and property owners often try to deny fault or undervalue personal injury claims. We know their tactics, and we respond with strong legal action. Our attorneys pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, holding every responsible party accountable under Alabama personal injury law.

We handle every case with focus and compassion. Whether your injury occurred in a retail store, a parking lot, or on damaged flooring, we make sure your story is heard. Our slip and fall attorneys review the facts, verify insurance coverage, and collect all available evidence. We negotiate directly with the insurance company to achieve results that reflect the true impact of your injuries. At Krebs Law, our goal is simple: to help clients rebuild their lives with dignity and justice.

Understanding Property Owner Negligence in Slip and Fall Cases

Not every fall leads to a valid legal claim. To recover damages, we must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to correct it. This failure shows negligence—a breach of the duty of care owed to visitors, invitees, or licensees. Our legal team gathers facts, reviews security footage, and works with experts to prove fault and strengthen your case.

Failure to Maintain the Property

Many slip and fall accidents happen because property owners fail to maintain safe conditions. Broken handrails, uneven flooring, or poor lighting can turn everyday areas into serious hazards. We often see injuries in places like parking lots, apartment complexes, and business entrances. These cases require proof that the owner ignored repairs or failed to fix a known problem. We gather evidence, photographs, and witness statements to build a strong case for liability and compensation.

Failure to Address Spills and Debris

Wet floors, food spills, and cluttered walkways are among the most common causes of slip-and-fall accidents. Stores, restaurants, and public buildings have a duty to clean these hazards promptly and display clear warning cones. When a property owner doesn't fix an unsafe condition, innocent visitors can be seriously hurt. We help these victims prove that the hazard existed for a significant time, meaning the owner had a chance to correct it. Our investigation process includes photos, maintenance logs, and employee testimony to support your injury claim.

Failure to Warn of Known Hazards

Property owners must warn guests about hazards that are not immediately visible. This includes freshly mopped floors, hidden steps, or damaged fixtures. When owners fail to use proper signs or barriers, visitors can suffer preventable injuries. We use Alabama’s premises liability laws to prove that the danger was not open and obvious to a reasonable person. Our attorneys also consider how lighting, floor materials, and layout contributed to the accident. If a property owner ignores these risks, they can be held legally responsible for your injuries and damages.

Common Injuries in Montgomery Slip and Fall Accidents

At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we know that slip & fall accident victims often suffer the same severe injuries seen in car accidents or truck accidents. A simple slip can lead to long-term pain, expensive medical care, and emotional stress. These injuries affect every part of life—your work, family, and financial security. Our Montgomery personal injury law team helps clients through every stage of the legal system, from injury claim review to court dealings, ensuring they get fair compensation for their losses.

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Concussion: A fall can lead to a concussion. In some cases, it can even cause a more serious traumatic brain injury. These injuries affect memory, mood, and balance. We help personal injury victims gather medical evidence and pursue full compensation under Alabama’s statute of limitations.
• Spinal Cord Injury: Falls from stairs, escalator accidents, or damaged flooring can lead to spinal cord injuries. Victims may face paralysis, chronic pain, or limited mobility. We guide clients through medical evaluations, insurance claim filing, and legal proceedings to recover fair damages.
• Broken Bones and Fractures: Elderly individuals are especially at risk for broken hips, wrists, or legs in slip and fall accidents. These injuries often require surgery and long recovery times. We handle insurance company negotiations to cover medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
• Soft-Tissue and Back Injuries: Sprains, strains, and muscle tears are common when people fall on snow, ice, or uneven flooring. These injuries can take months to heal and limit work capacity. We verify medical treatments, respond to insurance questions, and ensure proper compensation.
• Wrongful Death and Severe Injury Claims: Some falls lead to fatal injuries, resulting in wrongful death claims for surviving families. We help them pursue justice through settlements or court proceedings. Our attorneys also handle related cases such as dog attacks, vehicle accidents, or auto accident claims involving, ice, similar negligence.
• Emotional and Financial Harm: Slip & fall incidents cause more than physical pain—they bring stress, lost income, and costly care. Victims may also qualify for punitive damages when the property owner’s behavior was especially reckless. We offer legal advice, contingency fee representation, and free case reviews to help you move forward without added financial burden.

Steps to Take After a Montgomery Slip and Fall Accident

At Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we remind every client that what you do right after a fall can shape your case results. In Montgomery, slip and fall accidents often happen due to a hazardous condition, such as spills/leaks or damaged/uneven flooring. A calm and clear response helps protect your health and your legal rights. Follow these steps to secure your claim and strengthen your connection with our experienced attorneys.

1. Check for injuries and seek medical care. Your health comes first. Even minor pain could mean a serious internal injury. Get checked by a medical professional, and keep every report as vital evidence for your personal injury incidents or potential workers' comp claim.
2. Document the hazardous condition. Take photos of what caused the fall—wet floors, uneven tiles, or poor lighting. These details can prove negligence and show that the property owner failed to correct unsafe conditions.
3. Report the accident immediately. Inform the property owner or manager about the fall. Make sure the report includes the exact hazard and the time it occurred. Request a written copy for your records and keep a copy for verifying future claims.
4. Collect witness information. Human witnesses can confirm what they saw and help establish fault. Get their names, phone numbers, and short statements. These details help us prepare a strong legal response later.
5. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies. Insurers often ask questions designed to limit your payout. Do not give a statement without legal guidance. Contact our attorneys to handle all responses and protect your claim.
6. Contact Krebs Law Personal Injury Lawyers. We review the facts, confirm liability, and begin the legal process. Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win.
