Trip and fall and slip and fall cases also make up a substantial amount of our practice.  Falls from either tripping or slipping happen all the time and, if they happen due to ice or snow or some other defect or problem on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.  We recognize that falls often involve the more vulnerable members of our society- the elderly and the very young- and at Dwyer, Black & Lyle, LLP, we ensure that these persons are protected.

It is important to know that if you are injured while on property owned or maintained by the state, a municipality or a government agency there a very short time frames in which you must file a notice of your claim.  Very often, injured persons do not know if one of these entities is involved. Therefore, you should not hesitate in contacting our firm if you are injured as we are happy to review any case in which you have been injured as a result of a fall to determine what claims you may have.
