Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident in Bensalem?
A sudden fall can result in fractures, back injuries, knee and shoulder damage, head injuries, concussions, and other conditions requiring surgery, rehabilitation, or time away from work.
The question in a premises liability case is not simply whether someone fell. The legal issues can include why the dangerous condition existed, how long it was present, whether the property owner knew or should have known about it, and whether reasonable steps were taken to protect visitors.
Our Bensalem slip and fall attorneys can evaluate those issues and determine whether you may have a claim.

Types of Bensalem Car Accident Cases We Handle
What Should You Do After a Slip and Fall?
Evidence of a dangerous property condition can disappear quickly. A spill can be cleaned, snow can melt, merchandise can be moved, and broken items may be repaired.
If you are able to do so safely:
- Report the accident to the property owner or manager
- Ask that an incident report be created
- Photograph the exact condition that caused your fall
- Take wider photographs showing the surrounding area
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Seek appropriate medical attention
- Save your shoes and clothing
- Keep receipts and medical documentation
- Write down what happened while the details are fresh
- Speak with an attorney before signing a release from an insurance company
Surveillance video may also be important, particularly when an accident occurs at a major retail or commercial property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Cases in Bensalem
No. A successful premises liability claim generally requires evidence that a dangerous condition existed and that another party was legally responsible for addressing it.
The absence of an appropriate warning may be relevant, particularly if the property owner or business knew or should have known about the hazard.
Possibly. Snow and ice cases depend heavily on the specific conditions, timing, location, maintenance responsibilities, and Pennsylvania premises liability law.
Report the accident, document the condition, seek medical care, and preserve any information you receive from the store. An attorney can evaluate whether the store or another party may be liable.
Video footage can be valuable evidence. Because businesses may not retain surveillance recordings indefinitely, contacting an attorney promptly may help with efforts to preserve relevant footage.
Pennsylvania's comparative negligence rules may permit recovery in some circumstances even when an injured person is partially at fault. Any percentage of fault assigned to you may affect the recovery.
Philly Lawyers handles personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. There is no upfront attorney fee, and we receive a fee only if compensation is recovered for you.
