“Slip,
trip and fall” is a name for situations where a
person is injured by slipping or tripping and falling
due to a dangerous or hazardous condition on the
premises.
The fall can happen
inside or outside of the property and be caused by
conditions such as wet flooring, defective flooring, poorly
lit steps, lack of hand rails, weather related situations or any hidden
hazards.
Slip and Fall accidents
are by far the most common type of “premises liability”. Property owners and businesses have a duty
to provide a safe environment for people on their
property.
Analysis of the injury and the
resulting treatment is critical in these cases.
Ankle and wrist injuries are common in slip & falls and often
involve severe lifelong consequences. Surgical procedures
can involve ligament repairs, fracture repairs, and
even fusion of incompletely healed ankles and wrists.
Other premises liability claims
made for hazardous conditions include:
Uncleared
snow
Clear
ice
Improperly
secured mats and rugs
Hidden
drop-offs
Pot
holes
Early investigation is critical
in slip & fall cases. Often defects are quickly repaired, property ownership
changes hands and
critical witnesses can be difficult to locate if you
wait too long. Contact
