Slip & Fall

A ‘slip’ refers to an accident where a person loses balance because of a lack of friction under the foot resulting in a fall where the victim sustains an injury. Slip, trips or falls usually result from a dangerous condition on the property. These conditions create an unreasonable risk of harm to a victim. The best slip and fall lawyers are skilled at identifying these conditions and how the property owner should have prevented them from occurring. Examples of this are slippery floor with no warning sign, cracked sidewalks, objects on the stairs or uneven steps, ice and snow, broken floor tiles and potholes, missing handrails, and poor lighting, to mention a few.

A slip and fall lawyer protects victims of defective conditions by seeking to recover compensation from the landowner of other responsible party. If you fall and sustain an injury due to avoidable or foreseeable dangerous situations, the person or authority responsible for remedying the condition is liable for whatever damage and loss you incur. That is why hiring the best slip and fall lawyer is important to pursue your claim.

Good moral character is not limited to criminal convictions. Immigration can interpret a variety of conduct as demonstrating a lack of good moral character. For instance, failing to provide information on a previous immigration application; answering questions incorrectly or failure to register for the selective service. Immigration can find a lack of good moral character and deny a citizenship application for all these reasons.
