Slip And Fall Accidents
Slip and Fall Attorney in Bethlehem, PA
It happens fast. One second, you’re walking across a parking lot, stepping into a store, or heading down some stairs—and the next, you’re on the ground, hurt, confused, and in pain. Maybe it’s a slick patch of ice that no one cleared. Maybe it’s a puddle with no warning sign. Maybe it’s an uneven sidewalk, a loose tile, or poor lighting that made a step disappear under your feet. However it happened, if you were injured in a slip and fall on someone else’s property in Bethlehem or anywhere in the Lehigh Valley, you may have a legal claim. At Michael A. Snover ESQ Attorney at Law, we help people who were hurt in avoidable slip and fall accidents recover the compensation they deserve. These cases are more serious than many people think—and we take them seriously because we’ve seen firsthand how devastating the aftermath can be.
What Causes Most Slip and Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall injuries are almost always preventable. They usually happen when a property owner or business fails to maintain safe walking areas or doesn’t warn you about hidden dangers. Some of the most common hazards we see include: Wet or recently mopped floors with no warning signs; Icy sidewalks and parking lots left untreated; Spills in grocery stores or restaurants; Loose carpeting or uneven flooring; Broken or missing handrails on stairs; Dim lighting in hallways, stairwells, or entryways; Cracked sidewalks and potholes; Clutter or debris in walkways. Whether you slipped at a big-box retailer near Stefko Blvd, fell on ice outside a downtown restaurant, or tripped on a poorly maintained apartment walkway, your injury matters—and we’re here to help.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries
A fall might sound minor, but the injuries we see can be severe and long-lasting. These include: Broken bones (especially hips, wrists, and ankles); Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs); Back and spinal cord injuries; Torn ligaments or muscle damage; Cuts and bruises that lead to infection; Long-term pain and mobility issues. These injuries often mean hospital visits, physical therapy, missed work, and a long road to recovery. Some clients deal with chronic pain or permanent disability after what seemed like a simple fall. And yet, insurance companies and property owners often try to brush these cases off like they’re no big deal. That’s where we step in.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall in Bethlehem
If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall, what you do next can make or break your case. First, seek medical care right away, even if your injuries don’t seem serious at first. Second, take photos of the area where you fell—especially the hazard that caused it. Third, report the incident to the property owner, store manager, or landlord and ask for a copy of their incident report. Fourth, gather names and contact info for any witnesses who saw what happened. Finally, contact a local slip and fall attorney before talking to any insurance company representatives. These cases rely on fast action—because the property owner may fix the hazard or destroy evidence if you wait too long.
How We Prove Fault in a Slip and Fall Case
Slip and fall claims fall under premises liability law. That means you have to show that the property owner was negligent—that they knew or should’ve known about the danger and didn’t fix it or warn you. We’ll work to prove that the hazard existed long enough that they had time to act, that it wasn’t clearly marked, and that it directly caused your injury. We may use surveillance footage, maintenance records, witness statements, and safety codes to build a case that holds them accountable.

Every case is unique. We take time to understand your injury, your needs, and what recovery looks like for you—then we fight for a settlement or verdict that supports your future.

A History of Success
I just signed myself up with attorney Snover and had previously hired a different attorney but wasn’t satisfied with him. I then went to attorney Snover and he took my car accident case and is now helping me with my injury settlement. He is extremely knowledgeable at what he does, takes the time to talk with you and to fully understand your case. I highly recommend this place for your attorney needs.
