- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Sprains and torn ligaments
- Internal injuries
- Permanent disability or death in severe cases
Property Conditions That Often Lead to Slip and Fall Injuries

- Broken or missing handrails

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Portland Slip and Fall Case?
Determining who is responsible for a slip and fall accident is a key part of pursuing your claim. A premises liability lawyer can help investigate the circumstances of your accident and identify all parties who may be legally accountable.
Liability may extend beyond the property owner and could include:
- Businesses or retail stores that failed to maintain safe conditions
- Landlords or property managers who neglected maintenance
- Maintenance or cleaning companies responsible for creating hazards
- Residential property owners who did not address dangerous conditions
With the guidance of our experienced premises liability attorneys in Portland, you can ensure that every negligent party is held accountable and that your claim accurately reflects the damages you have suffered.

- Coverage of past and future medical expenses
