Northern Indiana Slip and Fall Lawyers

Holding negligent property owners and possessors accountable

Property ownership and possession comes with specific legal responsibilities. Owners and possessors of property are expected to maintain the property to a basic level. If you are injured because of their failure to do so, you may have a slip and fall claim. Rubino Ruman, Crosmer, Smith, Sersic & Polen's slip and fall attorneys have  more than a combined 165 years of experience representing clients injured from slips and falls in Indiana and Illinois.

Proving negligence caused your injury

Our team proactively investigates your claim before the unsafe condition is cleared or repaired. Our on-staff private investigator photographs the location where the injury occurred, documents vital aspects about the slip and fall site and interviews witnesses to acquire crucial information, such as the duration of time the danger existed and actions taken by the negligent parties. Methodical and diligent preparation of your case is essential to fairly and accurately presenting the facts and developing winning strategies.

Liability of property owners and their employees

Injuries can occur in a variety of locations, including office buildings, restaurants, entertainment centers, residences, public parks, mass transit facilities and municipal spaces. Those responsible for upkeep of the location can be government entities, corporations and individuals, who are typically held accountable for their employees’ actions as well. Rubino Ruman's Indiana slip and fall lawyers identify the culpable parties and meticulously collect evidence to establish that the owner or possessor of the property or their employee:

• Caused the unsafe condition
• Knew about the condition and failed to rectify it, or
• Should have known about the condition based on whether a reasonable person would have known

Building a strong slip and fall case in Indiana

What constitutes an unsafe condition depends on the nature of the location, intended use of the property, purposes of your presence, foreseeability of the accident and reasonableness of minimizing the risk or issuing a warning. Rubino Ruman anticipates and counters the common defense tactics that your injuries were not caused by their negligence or that you were at fault. We do not allow negligent parties to deflect blame on the victim. We build a strong case based upon the facts and law.
