Evidence wins premises cases
What we gather and why it matters
We secure incident reports, photographs of hazards, video footage, and witness statements. We also establish that the owner knew or should have known about the danger and failed to fix or warn about it. Insurers often argue you were not watching your step; our job is to show why the hazard wasn’t obvious and how reasonable care would have prevented the fall. Review our case results for representative matters handled by our firm.
Frequent hazards and injuries
- Spills without prompt cleanup
- Loose mats, uneven flooring, broken stairs

Document the scene early
Medical documentation matters
Prompt evaluation ties injuries to the fall and counters “minor injury” arguments. We help coordinate records and provider statements to reflect the full impact on daily life.
Apartments, stores, and lots
From apartment stairwells to grocery stores and office lobbies, we identify the right party and insurance carrier, then pursue accountability through claim or suit.
Common questions
Slip and fall claims in North Carolina
What should I do after a fall.
Report it to management, photograph the hazard, get medical care, keep shoes and clothing, and contact a lawyer before speaking to insurance.
What if they say the danger was obvious.
We analyze lighting, signage, and layout. Many hazards aren’t obvious under real-world conditions, and that evidence can overcome this defense.
How long will the case take.
Timelines vary with injury recovery and liability disputes. We aim for fair resolution and prepare for litigation when needed.
Will the owner pay personally.
Claims typically go through liability insurance, not the owner’s personal funds.
