Slip & Fall Accidents

Attorney in WNY

Bad injures are the result of a failure to keep property in a safe condition. If a property owner or manager does not treat an accumulation of ice or snow, ignores a pothole in a parking lot, a raised sidewalk, or a spill on a store floor, fall-downs happen. We will hold those responsible when appropriate. If you have fallen and injured yourself, do not hesitate to call Craig Small Attorneys. As they say, Slip & Fall Call Craig Small. (It even rhymes!)
