Slips And Falls Attorneys
Every year, thousands of people are injured in slip and fall accidents from wet floors, torn carpets, rough and uneven ground, or dangerous conditions without proper signage and warning. Sometimes, these cases occur simply because of Mother Nature and the property owner is not responsible for your injuries, but in others, you may be able to file a premise liability claim. It is normal for things to spill and for surfaces to become uneven due to wear and tear and other circumstances, and the property owner cannot always be held liable for someone slipping and falling on their premises.
However, property owners do have the responsibility to ensure that they maintain their property and provide a safe environment for people who come onto it. In the event that they are negligent and said negligence caused your slip and fall injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the resulting damages. It can be difficult to determine liability in slip and fall cases, and too often, insurance companies will do all in their power to avoid paying you the compensation you deserve. LeBaron & Jensen is experienced in handling slip and fall cases. We will determine whether your accident justifies a liability claim and will fight to obtain your rightful compensation on your behalf so that you can focus your energy on recovering from the damages you suffered.
When Can You File A Claim For A Slip And Fall Accident?
It’s rare that slip and fall accidents are unavoidable. However, when it is known there are dangerous conditions on the premises and the property owner fails to put up proper signage, resolve the situation, and take the proper measures to keep reasonably safe conditions, you may be able to file a slip and fall claim. In order for your slip and fall claim to be successful, you must be able to prove that the defendant was negligent and did not take reasonable measures to maintain a safe environment.
Elements Of Negligence
- Duty: Property owners have a duty to take reasonable care to maintain their property and warn of unsafe conditions.
- Breach: This is when the defendant failed to meet their duty of care – they were negligent.
- Causation: It is because of the defendant’s negligence that you slipped and fell and were injured.
- Damages: You were injured as a result of negligence.
Factors Involved In Slip And Fall Claims
Since slip and fall accidents can happen without the property owner being responsible or as a result of their negligence, it can be challenging to prove when they should have known about the conditions that could cause such an accident. Even when property owners do exercise reasonable care, slips and falls can still happen. Additionally, sometimes people can miss warning signs and fail to use reasonable care themselves in order to avoid slipping and falling.
Factors that are considered in determining whether or not you can file a slip and fall claim include:
- How long the hazardous condition existed
- Whether or not there was good reason for that condition to exist
- If there were signs warning of unsafe conditions
- Lack of proper lighting illuminating potentially unsafe conditions
- Whether or not the property owner had a regular routine to inspect for unsafe conditions
If you’ve been involved in a slip and fall accident, you’ll want to take pictures of the scene and your injuries, seek out medical attention, gather contact information of the property owner and any witnesses, avoid making statements to insurance companies as these can be used against you, and contact an attorney. Retaining legal representation after a slip and fall accident is a must if you want to receive the compensation you deserve.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
