Common Hazards in Slip & Fall Incidents

What can be most daunting about slip and falls is that they can occur anywhere at any time, from inside a store or on a public street.

Common types of slip and fall cases we’ve seen have occurred due to:

• Poorly lit areas
• Cluttered hallways and aisles, and other walkways
• Slippery floors as a result of wetness from spills or rain, mud, or snow, or naturally slippery surfaces like glass
• Staircases and ramps with broken handrails or stairs
• Uneven surfaces, including torn or bunched carpet, uneven bricks, potholes, and more
• Ladders and scaffolding
• Unstable surfaces like floors with loose tiles

Property owners have a responsibility to keep their areas safe for visitors and guests. Failure to clean up spills or fix broken stairs and other environmental factors can cause accidents and injuries, and even fatalities. Our team of lawyers has decades of experience holding negligent property owners responsible.

Understanding the Severity of Slip & Fall Injuries

While many associate falls with minor injuries like bruises and cuts, a slip and fall can produce serious injuries that can kill a person or leave them with lifelong injuries that can alter their way of life. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report than 20-30% of those involved in fall accidents suffer from moderate to severe injuries.

Injuries can include sprains and fractures, broken bones, spinal cord and neck injuries, and head and brain trauma. Falls most commonly cause broken bones that can require weeks and months to completely recover from.

Compensation For Slip & Fall Victims

After a slip and fall, you may quickly find yourself in debt from having to pay out of pocket for medical expenses and other damages. Many injured individuals feel overwhelmed and helpless having to deal with debts when they’re already dealing with physical pain and emotional trauma.

With the help of our dedicated attorneys, we can secure the compensation you need to heal after your slip and fall accident. We’ve helped countless clients recover damages in their personal injury cases that include:

• Medical expenses such as hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and any special equipment needed
• Lost wages and future earning capacity from having to miss or quite work due to injuries or disabilities
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering

Slip and falls can occur in private homes but also in business offices, construction sites, restaurants, theaters, on sidewalks, and anywhere in public. We can hold property owners accountable for their failure to keep you safe and help you achieve the peace of mind you need to begin the healing process.
