Slip and Fall Lawyers Serving Pittsburgh and Allegheny County
Slip and fall cases often depend on evidence that can disappear quickly, including surveillance video, incident reports, photographs, maintenance records, cleaning schedules, and witness accounts.
Our attorneys investigate the property condition, who owned or controlled the area, how long the hazard existed, available notice evidence, and how the fall affected medical treatment and work.

01
Wet or Slippery Floors
Spills, leaks, tracked-in moisture, and cleaning conditions can create dangerous walking surfaces.
02
Ice & Snow
Winter conditions may require review of weather, treatment, plowing, drainage, and maintenance practices.
03
Broken or Uneven Surfaces
Cracked pavement, damaged flooring, uneven transitions, and potholes can create trip hazards.
04
Poor Lighting
Inadequate lighting can make steps, obstructions, elevation changes, and other hazards difficult to see.
05
Stairs & Handrails
Defective stairs, missing rails, improper dimensions, and maintenance issues can contribute to serious falls.
06
Commercial Properties
Stores, parking lots, restaurants, offices, and other businesses may have inspection and maintenance records relevant to the claim.
What Should You Do After a Slip and Fall?
The condition that caused the fall may be repaired or removed quickly, so early documentation matters.
- Seek appropriate medical care and report the incident when appropriate.
- Photograph the hazard, surrounding area, lighting, warning signs, and injuries.
- Get witness names and contact information.
- Ask that surveillance video and incident information be preserved.
- Keep the clothing and shoes worn during the fall.
- Save medical records, bills, work-loss information, and insurer communications.

Pittsburgh Slip and Fall Lawyers FAQs
Is a property owner automatically responsible if I fall?
No. Liability usually depends on the condition, responsibility for the property, notice, and surrounding circumstances.
What if the hazard was cleaned up?
That is why photographs, witnesses, incident reports, and preservation of video can be important.
Should I report the fall?
When appropriate, reporting the incident can create a record of what happened.
What if there was a warning sign?
A warning sign is one fact to consider. Its location, visibility, wording, and the condition itself may matter.
