A poorly lit area can lead to serious accidents, and if you are someone who sustained a slip or trip and fall injury because of insufficient lighting, you are most likely require the services of an experienced Maryland personal injury attorney who can fight for the compensation you need. This compensation can help cover the cost of your medical bills, lost wages, and more, which is why you cannot afford to hire just any attorney. Here are some of the questions you may have about insufficient lighting accidents and how our firm can help if you’ve been injured in one:

Where can insufficient lighting accidents occur?

As you can imagine, accidents caused by insufficient lighting can occur in a multitude of places and environments. Some of the most common places accidents due to insufficient lighting can occur include:

  • Restaurants
  • Stairwells
  • Parking lots
  • Sidewalks
  • Department stores or clothing stores

What are some examples of insufficient lighting accidents?

Unfortunately, there are various ways in which insufficient lighting can cause a serious accident. Poor lighting can cause the following:

  • It can prevent people from seeing certain safety hazards or obstacles, causing them to slip and fall
  • It can allow certain crimes resulting in injury to occur
  • An insufficiently lit road can cause a motorist to strike a pedestrian or cyclist

How can I recover financial compensation if I’m hurt?

There are few things worse than sustaining an injury due to no fault of your own. If you are hurt because of an inadequately lit building, parking lot, road, or stairwell, if you can, you should try and document every facet of the accident. This can include getting witness contact information, taking pictures of the unsafe conditions, seeking immediate medical treatment, and more. Once you receive medical treatment, you should also keep a copy of the medical records associated with your injuries.

Finally, you should hire an experienced Maryland personal injury attorney who can work to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim. As long as we can prove that your injury was directly caused by the negligence of another, you should receive the compensation you need. We are ready to fight for you. Give us a call today.
