Slips, trips and falls may be funny in the movies, but at Georgelis Injury Law Firm, P.C. we know that they are no joke and can result in serious bodily injury. As a Lancaster accident and injury firm which has handled numerous slip, trip and fall cases over the years, we know how to maximize the recovery for your claim and can put our knowledge, skills, experience and resources to work for you. Not only do we aggressively pursue full compensation for injuries suffered on leased property or at a business, we provide you with the peace-of-mind you deserve and allow you to focus on healing.

Slip and Fall Injuries Can be Extremely Serious

When you’ve been injured on business or rented property — whether you are a tenant or a visitor — the personal injury attorneys at Georgelis Injury Law will stand by you throughout the claim process, handling all of the communications with insurance companies involved, being there to explain to you how everything works and to answer all of your questions and being your sounding board whenever you need to talk, all the while fighting to get you fully compensated. Because many slip and fall injuries involve the head, spine and lower extremities, they can be debilitating and affect your ability to work for weeks, months or even years.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries Include:

• Leg fractures
• Rotator cuff tears
• Knee and hip injuries
• Neck, low back and other spine injuries
• Broken fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and arms
• Sprains, strains and tears of muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues
• Head trauma, including concussions, subdural hematomas and other traumatic brain injuries

The most important thing following a slip/trip and fall injury is getting access to quality medical treatment that will ensure as quick and full of a recovery from your injuries as possible. Unfortunately, though, many times, it is not clear who should pay your medical bills—and, it is no secret that insurance companies are not always quick to accept responsibility for accidents on personal or business property.

At Georgelis Injury Law Firm, P.C., our dedicated and professional staff will explain how this can be accomplished and what we can do to make things easier on you. We will immediately set up your claim and notify the interested and involved parties, so that all of the communications come through us and nobody bothers you. At the same time, we will make sure your medical bills are getting billed to and paid by the proper sources and work to pursue all of the damages you are entitled to, including lost wages, pain and suffering and loss of life’s enjoyment. Using the experience that accompanies our decades of success in handling these cases, Georgelis Law’s tireless efforts will build a powerful and persuasive claim to help maximize your financial recovery.

Renters and Lessees Have the Right to a Safe Environment

When you rent an apartment or your business leases commercial space, you deserve a safe, well-kept environment. But sometimes the maintenance crew or management is careless or negligent, resulting in unsafe conditions.

Some of the most common accidents on leased and rented property involve:

• Trips and falls at restaurants
• Injuries in parking garages
• Slips and falls at grocery stores
• Snowy and icy walkways or parking lots
• Falls in dark hallways
• Injuries at hotels or convention centers
• Falling objects at department or other retail stores
• Insufficiently lit or secured parking lots

Property owners must maintain safe conditions, even in poor weather conditions and other foreseeable circumstances.

When a Business Leases a Property and a Customer Gets Injured on the Property

Generally, the lessee of property used to conduct business is liable for injuries to visitors on that property that occur due to carelessness, negligence or recklessness. However, some or most of how a claim against a business lessee proceeds can depend upon the individual lease or contract between the premises owner and the business leasing or renting the property and/or building. The law in this area is complex and can be difficult to discern without the proper experience.
