A slip, trip, or fall can be life-altering when it leads to surgery, complex fractures, spinal damage, or traumatic brain injury.

How We Build Baltimore Premises Claims

Successful fall cases are built on evidence gathered quickly and preserved correctly. Timoll Law Group moves fast to secure incident reports, witness names, and facility surveillance before it’s overwritten. We request maintenance logs, snow/ice removal records, inspection schedules, contractor agreements, and repair tickets to show what the property knew (or should have known) about hazards. Medical and surgical records document the severity of harm. If the incident occurred near Johns Hopkins, Lexington Market, a light rail station, or a retail center like Canton Crossing, we tailor requests to the location’s systems and vendors.

Apartments, Stores & Garages: High-Risk Areas

Catastrophic slip and fall cases often involve slick entryways, broken steps, poor lighting in garages, loose mats, hidden elevation changes, and debris left by third-party contractors. We frequently see incidents at multifamily housing, supermarkets, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and job sites across Downtown, Federal Hill, Hampden, and along I-95/I-695 corridors. If your injuries meet the criteria above, Timoll Law Group can help you understand liability and next steps.

What To Do In The First 48 Hours: Documenting the Scene and Your Injuries

After you get urgent medical care, document what you can: take photos, note weather and lighting, keep the shoes and clothing you wore, and write down the names of employees or witnesses. Ask for an incident report at the location.

Hold off on recorded statements to insurers until you understand your rights. If you’re unsure where to start, contact us and we’ll map a short plan tailored to Baltimore venues and Maryland law.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Catastrophic Slip & Fall Claims: What You To Know

Two surgeons are operating on a patient in an operating room.

  • Do you take every fall case?

    No. We handle severe premises cases only—matters involving surgery, fractures, ICU or prolonged stays, permanent impairment, or fatal outcomes. If your injuries meet that threshold, we can evaluate your claim.

  • What proof helps most?

    Photos or video from the scene, an incident report, names of witnesses and employees, surveillance footage, maintenance and cleaning logs, repair tickets, and your medical and surgical records are crucial. Keep the shoes you wore on the day of the fall.

  • Who is liable—property owner, contractor, or both?

    Liability depends on who controlled the hazard and knew or should have known about it. Owners, managers, maintenance vendors, snow/ice contractors, and construction companies can each share responsibility depending on the facts.

  • What if I was partly at fault?

    Maryland law is strict on shared fault. It’s important to have a careful review of the evidence before making statements to insurers. We’ll explain how this may affect your claim and what documentation can help.

  • When should I call?

    Call as soon as you can. Surveillance systems overwrite quickly, and maintenance records can be harder to track down over time. Early action helps preserve key proof and supports a stronger evaluation.
