Stop Being Polite... GET RUDE

Don’t Slip Up After Your Slip and Fall; Get RUDIN LAW on Your Side

A “slip” or “trip” and fall may sound like a minor incident, but the reality is that slip/trip and falls are one of the most common causes for significant personal injuries. Why? Because these events can happen in many, unexpected ways and they often result in your body contacting a hard surface like the ground, floor, or something else. As you might imagine, this can cause severe injuries.
At RUDIN LAW, we hold negligent property owners accountable when our clients get hurt on their premises. Most property owners carry commercial insurance, which means your claim will be met with the might of a large company and their even larger insurance company. As soon as a fall occurs, you should expect that representatives from the property where you fell will immediately begin investigating the cause and attempt to shift the blame onto you.
Even worse, their insurance companies may delay the handling of your claim, offer an early, inadequate settlement, or outright refuse to pay what they owe. When you’re injured and in need of help, you need a lawyer who will confront the insurance giants head-on. At RUDIN LAW, we don’t just talk tough; we achieve results that truly make a difference.

Whether you’re in Louisiana, Texas, or anywhere else in the country, RUDIN LAW is ready to take on those responsible for your injuries and get you the justice you deserve. We are here to stand up and fight back. And to that, we say: it’s time to stop getting pushed around; it’s time to stop being polite… and GET RUDE with RUDIN LAW

Common Causes of Slip or Trip and Fall Accidents

Property owners and operators are expected to maintain safe premises for visitors, but these efforts do not always occur and, even when they do, they do not eliminate the risk of falls and resulting injuries. Every year, many people suffer serious injuries or even death due to slip or trip and fall incidents. These incidents can occur for a variety of reasons, including:
  • Wet or Slippery Floors
  • Uneven Surfaces
  • Poor Lighting
  • Obstacles in Walkways or Paths
  • Weather Hazards
  • Loose Carpeting

Slip or trip and fall incidents differ from other incidents due to the nature of premises liability. Despite efforts by property owners and insurance companies to downplay these incidents, safety data reveals the gravity of these risks and their consequences.
