Slip and Fall Attorneys Serving Bethel and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska

Injured in a slip and fall accident? At Power and Brown, our Alaska accident and injury attorneys are dedicated to giving accident victims the aggressive representation they need in order to recover maximum financial compensation following a serious accident or injury.

A slip and fall may occur because a property owner is negligent in maintaining or inspecting property grounds. A wet floor, a crack in the pavement, an object in a walkway, a poorly lit stairwell, a missing stair and a freshly waxed floor are all possible causes for a slip and fall or trip and fall. Alaska property owners have an obligation to their visitors to take action to reasonably ensure that their property is safe from hazards. If hazardous situations do arise, the property owner or manager must take action to remedy the situation as soon as possible. If it cannot be fixed immediately, the property owner must place a warning sign to help ensure that an accident does not occur.

Following a slip and fall accident, there are specific steps you can take to help ensure that you can recover financial damages for your injuries:

• Take pictures of the scene and the condition which led to your accident
• Make sure the property owner knows what occurred
• Seek medical attention, even if you feel that you are not seriously injured
• Get the contact information of any witnesses present who saw what happened
• Contact an Alaska slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible

Why an Attorney?

Why should you consult and work with an Alaska slip and fall attorney? An attorney will know what legal action needs to be taken in order to seek and then recover financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and more. The property owner may try to lay blame for the accident on your shoulders, saying you weren’t paying attention or were negligent yourself. You will need a lawyer to help corroborate your side of the story and ensure that you are not taken advantage of.
