Google presented me with four--five Law Firms. After researching and deciphering through reviews, I decided to try Klie Law Office, in West Virginia, my home State!
On my way to my scheduled appointment for case evaluation, I thought to myself, " Will they be willing to accept my case, knowing that my next hearing is in 8 days?" I was Hoping and Praying to my Father, who is beside me with every step of my path, all the way there!
When Iris and I met, we exchanged a firm handshake, and she professionally introduced herself!
To me, a firm handshake means something. Our ( myself, two sisters and one brother) Dad taught us at a young age, a firm handshake means something! To each of us we will know what he means, when our day comes, to experience it!
My day had come, this day! What did I get from her firm handshake? A welcoming first impression of strength and confidence!
We discussed details of my case, and she would inform me of their processes, which member of the team does what, the retainer amount, paperwork process, and they would be there for my hearing, that was now 7 days away!
After processing my retainer, filling out necessary forms, I left with self confidence knowing that Klie Law accepted my case, and they will be fighting For Me, Not Against Me, as in the past 7-8 months.
Thank You, Klie Law!

COMMON CAUSES OF SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS IN WEST VIRGINIA
At Klie Law Offices, our slip and fall attorneys have handled cases involving a wide range of hazardous conditions, including:
-
Wet or slippery floors: Common in grocery stores, restaurants, and retail shops where spills or mopping go unaddressed and warning signs are missing.
-
Uneven surfaces: Broken sidewalks, potholes in parking lots, cracked tiles, and loose floorboards are frequent causes of trips and falls.
-
Obstructed walkways: Merchandise, cords, or debris left in aisles or hallways create tripping hazards.
-
Inadequate lighting: Poorly lit stairwells, parking lots, and hallways make it hard for visitors to spot dangers.
-
Broken handrails or stairs: A missing or unstable handrail can lead to severe stairway falls, especially for seniors.
-
Snow and ice accumulation: Property owners have a duty to remove snow and ice from walkways and steps in a timely manner.
-
Failure to post warning signs: Not alerting visitors to wet floors, construction zones, or temporary hazards can lead to unnecessary injuries.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident in West Virginia due to any of these conditions, you may have a case against the property owner. Contact a premises liability attorney at Klie Law Offices for a free case evaluation.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS?
Liability for a slip and fall accident typically falls on the property owner, landlord, property management company, or sometimes a tenant or business operator. Under West Virginia slip and fall law, you must prove that:
-
The property owner or manager owed you a duty of care;
-
They knew or should have known about the dangerous condition;
-
They failed to fix or warn you about the hazard in a reasonable amount of time; and
-
You were injured as a direct result of their negligence.
For example, if a store manager ignores a spill for hours, or a landlord fails to repair broken steps, and you are injured as a result, you may have grounds for a slip and fall lawsuit in West Virginia.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT
Taking the right steps after a slip and fall accident can make a big difference in the outcome of your claim. Here’s what personal injury lawyers recommend:
-
Get medical attention: Even if your injuries seem minor, see a doctor. Your medical records will be vital evidence for your claim.
-
Report the accident: Notify the property owner, manager, or landlord and request that an incident report be filed. Ask for a copy.
-
Document the scene: Take photographs of the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area. Note whether warning signs were present.
-
Gather witness information: Get names and contact details for anyone who saw your fall or the hazardous condition.
-
Preserve evidence: Save the clothing and shoes you were wearing at the time of the accident.
-
Do not make statements: Avoid discussing fault with property owners or insurance adjusters before speaking to a slip and fall attorney.
-
Contact a West Virginia slip and fall lawyer: The sooner you get legal representation, the better your chances of a successful claim.
