Slips and Falls

“Slip and fall” accidents are situations where a person is injured by slipping or tripping and falling due to a dangerous condition on a premise. These falls can take place both inside buildings and homes as well as outdoors. These accidents may result from bad or uneven flooring, wet floors, poorly lighted steps or common areas, or weather-related slippery conditions. Icy patches, cracks in a sidewalk and potholes are also potential causes of serious slip and fall injuries.

Injuries that result by slips and falls are far too common. Many times, these injuries are caused by negligence of the person or company responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the property. Building owners, store owners and property managers have a responsibility to maintain their premises and to ensure the safety of people on the premises.

If you experienced a slip and fall accident, you should try to determine what caused you to fall and whether it could have been anticipated or prevented. If anybody witnessed your accident, make sure to get their name and address.
