Lexington Slip & Fall Lawyer

Lexington is the retail capital of Central Kentucky. From the sprawling outdoor shopping at Hamburg Pavilion to the busy corridors of Fayette Mall, millions of shoppers visit our city every year. But when corporate property owners invite you onto their land, they have a legal duty to keep you safe.

Too often, businesses in Lexington cut corners. They rely on understaffed cleaning crews, ignore crumbling sidewalks in student housing areas, or fail to treat icy parking lots during winter storms. When you fall and get hurt, their corporate lawyers will immediately try to blame you for "not watching where you were going."

At Freeman Childers, we know the truth: Gravity didn't cause your injury. Negligence did.

High-Risk Zones in Lexington

We handle premises liability cases across Fayette County, with a specific focus on the busiest danger zones:

• Hamburg Pavilion & Sir Barton Way: The uneven pavement, massive parking lots, and restaurant spills in this high-traffic zone are frequent sites of severe falls.

• Fayette Mall & Nicholasville Road: Slippery food court floors, leaking restroom fixtures, and untreated ice in the parking decks.

• UK Campus & Student Rentals: Landlords near State Street or Limestone often neglect maintenance, leading to collapsing porches, broken handrails, and dark stairwells.

• Grocery Store Hazards: Smashed produce or leaking freezers in Kroger or Whole Foods where cleaning logs are often faked or ignored.

• Hotel & Hospitality Accidents: Wet lobby floors or unsafe pool areas near the Horse Park or downtown convention centers.

"The Video Disappears Fast"

In a slip and fall case, evidence has a shelf life. Big-box stores and gas stations in Lexington often overwrite their surveillance footage every 48 to 72 hours. If you wait to hire a lawyer, the video of your fall—the only proof that the hazard existed—could be deleted forever.

We move instantly to send a "Preservation Letter" to the business, legally forcing them to save the video, the cleaning logs, and the incident report.

What Is Your Case Worth?

A fall can change your life. We fight for compensation for:

• Medical Bills: ER visits to UK Chandler Hospital or Baptist Health and ongoing physical therapy.

• Lost Wages: If you can't stand, you can't work.

• Pain & Suffering: The long-term impact of a hip fracture, back injury, or concussion.
