Kentucky Slip & Fall Injury Lawyer
Standing Up for Victims of Dangerous Property Conditions
A slip, trip, or fall on someone else's property can lead to serious injury, prolonged recovery, and expensive medical bills. Whether you fell in a store, on a sidewalk, at a friend’s home, or in another setting, you shouldn’t have to navigate the legal aftermath alone. At Cunningham Law, we represent Kentuckians hurt in premises liability accidents. You deserve accountability, clarity, and compassionate representation.
Why Slip & Fall Cases Need Special Experience
Slip and fall (or trip and fall) claims are more complex than they might look at first glance. Some of the challenges include:
Proving that a hazard existed and that the property owner knew (or should have known) about it.
Dealing with defenses that the owner “didn’t have time to fix it” or that the hazard was “open and obvious.”
Showing that the dangerous condition caused the injury (causation), not some prior condition.
Handling comparative negligence — in Kentucky, your recovery may be reduced if you’re found partially at fault.
Preserving evidence: photographs, surveillance video, witness statements, the condition of flooring or handrails — all can disappear over time.
Working through insurance adjusters and legal defenses on behalf of property owners who often have immense resources and highly-skilled legal teams defending them.
Because of these nuances, having a legal team familiar with premises liability law in Kentucky can make a critical difference.
What Types of Slip & Fall Claims We Handle
We help clients across Kentucky injured in situations such as:
Slippery floors, wet surfaces, or spills not properly marked
Broken or uneven flooring, pavements, or sidewalks
Poor lighting, obstructed walkways, or tripping over objects
Defective or broken stairs, railings, or handrails
Loose rugs, mats, or torn carpeting
Conditions in parking lots, building entrances, or outdoor walkways
Fallen debris, clutter, or poor maintenance of common areas
Incidents on residential, commercial, retail, or public property
In every case, we’ll work to identify all responsible parties — owners, property managers, maintenance entities — and hold them accountable.
What You May Be Entitled To
If your injury was caused by negligence in maintaining safe premises, you may recover for losses such as:
Medical treatment and ongoing rehabilitative care
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life
Permanent impairments, disfigurement, or mobility limitations
Property damage (e.g. damaged shoes, assistive devices)
In cases of death: wrongful death claims for surviving family members
We’ll help you understand what your specific claim may be worth, and press for full compensation—not just what’s easy to settle.
Statute of Limitations: Time Is Limited
In Kentucky, you generally have one year from the date of your injury to file a premises liability lawsuit. Waiting too long can forfeit your right to recover. Because evidence deteriorates or even disappears over time, the sooner you contact us, the better.
