Slip and fall cases often involve unsafe property conditions and aggressive insurance defenses, making experienced legal representation critical.
We handle slip and fall claims occurring in stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, parking lots, sidewalks, and other commercial or residential properties, helping injured clients pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Each Fall Is Different
No two slip and fall cases are the same. Liability depends on the specific hazard, how long it existed, whether the property owner knew or should have known about it, and whether reasonable steps were taken to fix or warn of the danger. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla carefully evaluate property conditions, maintenance practices, and notice issues in every case.
Slip and fall injuries can have serious and lasting consequences. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla assess medical records, future treatment needs, lost wages, and long-term impairment, ensuring each claim reflects the full impact of the injury on your daily life.
How Do I Know I Need a Lawyer?
Serious Injuries – Slip and fall accidents frequently cause broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and joint damage. If your injuries required medical treatment or affected your ability to work, an experienced slip and fall lawyer can help protect your claim.
Disputed Liability – Property owners and insurers often argue that the hazard was “open and obvious” or that the injured person was at fault. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla understand Ohio premises liability law and can challenge these defenses.
Insurance Pushback – Insurance companies may deny responsibility or offer low settlements that fail to cover your losses. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla handle negotiations and pursue fair compensation on your behalf.
What To Do After Falling?
Call the police - dial 911 so that police and emergency medical services can respond to the scene, treat injuries, and document the accident.
Seek medical attention immediately – Even if injuries seem minor, prompt treatment creates essential documentation.
Report the incident – Notify the property owner, manager, or business and request an incident report.
Document the scene – Take photos or videos of the hazard, lighting conditions, and the surrounding area.
Preserve evidence – Keep medical records, receipts, and any correspondence with insurers.
Do not give recorded statements – Avoid speaking with insurance companies before understanding your rights.

What Kinds of Falls We Have Handled
Wet floors and unmarked hazards – Slips caused by spills, freshly mopped floors, or leaks are common in Stow-area grocery stores, restaurants, and retail locations. Failure to post warnings or clean hazards promptly can create dangerous conditions.
Uneven surfaces and trip hazards – Cracked sidewalks, loose carpeting, broken steps, and uneven flooring frequently cause serious falls. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla help injured clients document these hazards and establish liability.
Poor lighting and visibility – Inadequate lighting in hallways, stairwells, parking garages, and exterior walkways can conceal dangerous conditions and contribute to preventable falls.
Falls in apartment complexes and rental properties – Landlords have a duty to maintain safe common areas. Attorneys Scanlon and Galla represent tenants injured due to neglected maintenance or unsafe conditions.
Commercial property falls – Businesses often dispute liability by blaming footwear or inattention. Attorneys Galla and Scanlon help gather incident reports, surveillance footage, and maintenance records to prove negligence.
