Slip and falls in Indiana often leave victims dealing with more than just embarrassment—they can bring serious injuries, medical bills, and time away from work. These cases fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible when unsafe conditions, like wet floors, poor lighting, broken steps, or uncleared ice, lead to injury. To succeed in a claim, you must prove that the property owner owed you a duty of care, failed to maintain safe conditions, that negligence caused your fall, and that you suffered real damages. Indiana law also limits the time you have to act: two years from the date of the incident, or as little as 180 days if the incident occurred on government property.
Taking the right steps after a fall is critical—seeking medical treatment, reporting the incident, documenting the hazard, and consulting a lawyer. Insurance companies often push back, sometimes even blaming the victim, but an experienced slip and fall attorney can protect your rights, investigate the scene, and negotiate with insurers. At the Marc Lopez Law Firm, the team builds strong cases with evidence, medical records, and witness testimony, while helping clients focus on recovery. Because Indiana applies a comparative fault rule, having a knowledgeable lawyer is essential to ensure fair compensation if you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall.
