Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere in Haverford—along Lancaster Avenue, inside local shops and big box stores, near the train station, or on the walkways around Haverford College. Even though these incidents might seem simple at first, they can lead to painful and sometimes long-lasting injuries.
It’s not always clear what caused the fall or whether the property owner could have done more to prevent it. Many people expect the process to be straightforward, only to run into challenges such as:
When issues like these arise, they can quickly complicate a claim and create room for insurers to push back. Addressing them early and effectively is often key to building a strong foundation for your case. There’s where our Haverford slip and fall accident attorneys come in.
Once you come to us, we look at the entire situation, not just the moment you fell. Our goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident in the steps ahead.
Our Haverford slip and fall accident lawyers work to identify and secure the details that can help clarify what happened, such as maintenance logs, cleaning records, surveillance footage when available, and witness accounts. We can also help you understand what items to preserve and how to document your own experience.
Many slip and fall injuries are not immediately visible. We collaborate with medical professionals who can clearly explain the severity of your injuries and how they’ve affected your daily life, ensuring your pain and limitations are taken seriously.
Insurance companies often look for ways to minimize claims. Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC manages communications on your behalf so you don’t have to worry about saying something that could be taken out of context.
Our team is committed to keeping you informed throughout the process. We explain what to expect, answer your questions, and ensure you never feel rushed or left in the dark.
The aftermath of a slip and fall often brings unexpected expenses and disruptions. From medical care to time away from work, these challenges add up quickly. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for losses such as:
These cases often involve more than just immediate medical bills, and it’s important to understand the full picture of how the fall has affected you. That’s why experience matters.

At our firm, we understand that cost is one of the first concerns people have after an accident. Slip and fall cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. Instead, our fee is collected only if we’re able to recover compensation for you. We’ll walk you through how this works during your free consultation so you feel informed and comfortable from the start.
In Pennsylvania, injured parties generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Certain circumstances—such as claims involving the government—may affect that timeframe. Because evidence in slip and fall cases can disappear quickly, it’s usually helpful to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
We can review your situation, explain what deadlines may apply, and help you understand the next steps.
You aren’t required to hire a lawyer, but many slip and fall cases become complex quickly. Property owners and insurance companies may dispute what happened, question the severity of your injuries, or try to shift blame.
Our attorneys help gather and preserve evidence, communicate with insurance adjusters, and work to protect you from statements that could be used against you later. With more than 100 years of combined experience in premises liability cases, we’re here to guide you through the process and help you make well-informed decisions.
