A doorway should never be a place of danger, yet every year in Ohio, people are seriously injured while entering or exiting buildings.

At Paulozzi, Alkire & Condeni Personal Injury Lawyers, our Cleveland slip and fall lawyers help victims throughout Ohio hold negligent property owners accountable and recover the compensation they deserve for their injuries.
