Hastings & Hastings Offers Representation for Slips and Falls

    PHOENIX, AZ, October 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The attorneys at Hastings & Hastings have spent years representing the victims of slips and falls.

Slips and fall can happen anywhere. Accidents have been reported in homes, at places of work, while out in public, and while commuting. Often such accidents could have been easily prevented, and someone should be held responsible. Hastings & Hastings is proud to offer representation in just such a situation.

Anyone could be the victim of a slip or a fall, however, children and the elderly are usually the most at risk. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have stated that 1 in three older adults experience a fall each year. The severity of these falls may vary, however in 2013 alone, it was reported that approximately 29,500 individuals died from falls. The danger is real.

There are a number of factors which may cause a slip or a fall. Individuals should endeavor to keep their environment as safe as humanly possible. Some of the most effective preventative measure include, removing clutter, securing carpets, and providing adequate lighting. These measures will simply increase safety, they will by no means prevent any possible slip or fall.

Spills are one of the leading causes of slips and falls, particularly in public locations.

They should then seek any necessary medical care and proper legal guidance. A legal representative will make sure a victim is properly protected and that their rights are fought for.
