Although slip and fall accidents may seem surprising, they’re actually quite common. Slipping in the bathroom or while walking your pet may lead to injuries that change your life forever. The National Safety Council estimates that 36% of all accidental injuries are slips and falls. The negligent property owner failed to fulfill their duty of care by not providing other precautionary measures.

Falls account for over 8 million hospital visits, representing the most common cause of hospital visits (seen in 21.3% of cases). Slips & falls account for over 1 million emergencies.

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you will be compensated for all related costs including pain, suffering, lost wages and medical expenses.

The Basics of Slip and Fall Accidents

Most common types of slip and fall accidents happen when you run into something on someone else’s property. This is a good reason why even though the legal term “slip and fall” refers to that type of accident, it also includes properties that are in need of care and appropriate safety measures such as automatic doors, wide walkway space, etc. Slip and falls happen all the time at various places – supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, parking lots and office buildings. There is also a high possibility that it could happen on sidewalks.

If an accident in which you were harmed occurs, our personal injury attorneys can help by filing a wrongful death lawsuit to provide loved ones with the financial compensation they deserve.

The Many Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

It’s important to make sure you’re prepared for all types of slip and fall accidents that can potentially happen even if your fall involves nothing more than a little spilled liquid. A wide variety of factors, such as slippery surfaces, slopes, and heights can cause accidents so make sure you are careful at all times.

  • Poor lighting
  • Concealed fixtures
  • Uneven stairs
  • Unsafe stairways
  • Stairs lacking railings
  • Cracked pavement
  • Debris in walkways
  • Torn carpeting
  • Insufficient sidewalk maintenance

The slip and fall that occurred on the property owner’s premises was due to negligence. You should consider retaining a personal injury attorney in order to build a case for yourself for lucrative settlement offers or favorable judgments.
