What is a Slip and Fall Personal Injury Case?

Slip and falls, or trip and falls, are scary because they are the second leading cause of injuries in the United States and account for an estimated 16,000 deaths every year. Often slip and fall injuries or deaths are caused by a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. In fact, more than 70% of slips, trips and falls occur due to dangerous conditions and hazards in our environment.

Slip and fall accidents can occur anytime and virtually everywhere – in a supermarket or shopping mall; at school or at an office; or on a sidewalk. Poor design or improper maintenance are the usual culprits of dangerous conditions that cause slip and fall accidents. Your slip and fall may be caused, by a defect in the stairs you must climb to go to work each day or your accident may be attributable to inadequate lighting that obstructs your ability to foresee a danger. But other hazards such as areas with food spillage or water leakage create slippery surfaces that may make a slip and fall virtually unavoidable. An injury or death from a fall that is caused by a hazardous condition in another person’s property may entitle the victim or the victim’s family to compensation.

Property Owners Must Prevent Slip and Fall Accidents

To avoid exposing others to an unreasonable risk of harm, such as a slip and fall or a trip and fall, property owners are required by law to use reasonable care in the management and maintenance of their premises. Property owners should always be on the lookout for any unsafe conditions on their premises and either, repair the dangerous conditions or give adequate warning of them to others.

If a property owner has a caution sign on or near a wet surface and you slip and fall due to the slippery surface, the owner would not be liable because of the warning sign. However, if no sign is present and an accident causing serious injuries occurs, you may be able to sue for damages. A lawyer can be most helpful in determining whether the owner has a legal responsibility to pay you any compensation for your personal injury.
