What Is a Slip and Fall Claim?
A slip and fall accident is a type of premises liability case. Under Pennsylvania law, property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to correct a dangerous condition—or don’t provide proper warnings—they may be held liable for resulting injuries.
Falls often result from:
- Slippery or wet floors
- Uneven pavement or sidewalks
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
- Broken handrails or stairs
- Cluttered aisles in stores or restaurants
- Icy or snow-covered walkways
- Elevator malfunctions
These accidents may seem simple on the surface, but they can lead to severe harm such as broken bones, head injuries, or spinal damage—especially for older adults.
Where Slip and Fall Accidents Commonly Happen
Slip and fall claims can arise from incidents at:
- Retail stores and supermarkets
- Office buildings and commercial properties
- Apartment complexes or rental homes
- Parking garages and sidewalks
- Restaurants and bars
- Nursing homes or care facilities
- Workplaces and construction zones
Whether your injury occurred in a business or on private property, it’s worth speaking to a slip and fall lawyer to understand your rights and options.
What Damages Can You Recover?

Slip & Fall Injury FAQs
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
In the state of Pennsylvania, there is a two (2) year statute of limitations currently on personal injury cases (with the exception of minors who are injured). This is two (2) years from your date of injury. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney to determine what your applicable statute of limitations is.
How long does the legal process take for a slip and fall accident?
These cases are complicated and could take long. If the case proceeds to litigation it can take a few years. It is important to hire an experienced attorney to help you navigate the potentially long process and streamline it.
What should I do after a slip and fall injury?
After a slip and fall accident, it is very important that you undertake the following steps:
- Documenting the accident which may include taking pictures, making an incident report, or even notifying the police;
- Seeking prompt medical attention for your injuries and keeping copies of your records;
- Continuing through any recommended treatment from providers; and
- Contact an experienced slip and fall attorney.
Do I need to go to seek medical attention after a slip and fall injury?
A large part of the process is having proper treatment of any injuries you suffered as a result of the slip and fall injury. It is imperative that when you are injured on the property or another, you seek prompt medical treatment for any and all injuries you sustained. Cases that have strong medical records and doctor’s opinions are stronger in the recovery process. It is important to follow up with any recommended treatment and specialists that you are referred to by the examining physician. Expert medical testimony after a slip and fall is important.
Do I need to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?
Yes, but there are several ways to meet that standard. You can show that they created the hazard, knew about it and failed to fix it, or that the condition existed long enough that they should have discovered it with proper inspections.
What if I slipped and fell at work?
Workplace falls often fall under workers’ compensation laws, not personal injury law. However, if your fall was caused by a third party (like a cleaning company or landlord), you may have both a workers’ comp claim and a third-party personal injury claim. We can help you navigate both.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall injury claim in Pennsylvania?
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, it’s best to contact a slip and fall injury attorney as soon as possible, so we can begin investigating and preserving key evidence right away.
What if my injuries didn’t show up until a few days after the fall?
This is very common. Injuries like concussions, sprains, or soft tissue damage may not fully appear for days. Document all symptoms, get medical treatment, and contact a lawyer promptly to protect your legal rights.
How much is my slip and fall claim worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, the extent of your medical bills and lost income, and how the fall has impacted your life. At Valsamidis Law, we’ll evaluate every aspect of your claim and fight to secure the maximum compensation possible.
What Damages Can You Recover?
Slip and fall claims are often challenged by property owners and insurance companies. You may hear:
- “The hazard was obvious.”

- “We didn’t know about the issue.”
- “It wasn’t dangerous enough to fix.”
