A Juris doctor holder from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, John Biernat is a practicing attorney and a member of the State Bar of Michigan.

As an attorney, John Biernat is currently an associate attorney at Padilla Law Group, Birmingham, Michigan. The law firm handles different forms of personal injury cases, including slip and fall litigation.

A slip and fall case refers to a premises liability claim by a person who gets injured on another person's property, resulting in injury. It is possible to get severely injured on someone else's property due to a slip. In such a case, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries from the property owner. This is especially true when the injury results from the palpable negligence of the owner.

The causes of injuries in slip and fall cases may include slippery floors, inadequate lighting, neglected stairs and railings, and safety violations, among others. Common injuries are broken bones, paralysis, soft tissue damage, and nerve damage. A tragic fall can even lead to death in worst-case scenarios. Whether it's a minor or severe personal injury or even the death of a loved one, you can initiate a slip and fall litigation through a personal injury attorney to seek fair compensation.
