Slip & Fall

When you think about slip & fall accidents, the first thing that might pop into your mind is someone slipping and falling on a wet floor in a restaurant, or a banana peel in a supermarket. Actually, that's not too far from the truth. The majority of slip & fall accidents do occur in restaurants, supermarkets, and other commercial properties.

Unfortunately, more often than not, these slip & fall accidents are cast aside as frivolous claims. That is why it is imperative that you contact Do & Associates immediately for a free consultation. At Do & Associates, we will help you determine if you have a valid claim for your injuries.

Negligence

property or person...."
