SLIP and FALL

Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries and, in some cases, life-altering injuries. The injured person may require surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing treatment. The victim may be unable to work. A slip and fall injury can even leave a person with lifelong physical pain that prevents the return to normal daily activities.

Do You Have a Slip and Fall Claim?

​

Not every fall warrants a legal claim against the property or business owner. To succeed with a slip and fall claim, you must show the property or business owner either did not make reasonable efforts to keep the premises free of dangerous conditions or warn you of any known hazards. You then need to show that as a result of that breach, you were injured.

​

Suppose a store owner learns that the front stairs to his store have become slippery because of a leaking water pipe. He has a duty to fix the leak or warn customers about the hazard. However, he does nothing. As a result, you slip and fall on those stairs and are seriously injured. Under those facts, you would probably have a valid slip and fall claim.

Who May Be to Blame for Your Slip and Fall Accident?

​

When you are injured on another person’s property, the property owner or manager is usually the one who is liable. Slip and fall cases are also known “premise liability” cases. Liable parties in premises liability claims may include:

​

• Business owners

• Store owners

• The government

• Construction companies

• Third-party vendors

• Apartment complex owners

• Homeowners
