PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Weitz Firm, LLC has expanded its personal injury practice into South Philadelphia and Passyunk Square, targeting a growing need for legal representation in slip and fall, premises liability, and negligent property maintenance cases.
Known for its work in catastrophic injury litigation, the firm is responding to an uptick in claims involving hazardous conditions such as slippery surfaces, poor lighting, faulty stairways, and ice-related hazards in both residential and commercial settings. These incidents often result in serious injuries, including fractures, concussions, back injuries, and other trauma that can carry significant financial and personal consequences.
“Property owners across Pennsylvania are required to maintain reasonably safe environments,” said the firm in its announcement. “When they fail, the consequences can be life-altering for victims.”
The expansion includes a dedicated local team focused on premises liability cases, supported by The Weitz Firm’s broader network of attorneys experienced in handling nursing home abuse, motor vehicle accidents, product liability, and medical malpractice claims. The firm’s approach to slip and fall cases involves on-site investigation, collection of physical evidence, review of maintenance logs, and consultation with medical professionals and accident reconstruction experts to establish liability and damages.
Free legal consultations are now available for injury victims in the targeted neighborhoods, with services offered on a contingency fee basis. This allows clients to pursue claims without upfront costs, covering a range of damages from medical expenses and lost wages to pain and suffering and, in severe cases, wrongful death.
The firm emphasizes that slip and fall cases often involve legal complexities, including comparative negligence, insurance coverage limits, and statutory notice requirements. Its attorneys remain versed in Philadelphia building codes, property maintenance laws, and case law precedents to build strong claims and maximize client recovery.
By increasing its presence in South Philadelphia and Passyunk Square, The Weitz Firm aims to hold negligent property owners accountable while ensuring victims have access to experienced legal counsel during recovery.
