Slip and Fall

At first, it seems like a reasonable assumption to believe that entering a building or onto the grounds of a property will not inherently expose you to the risk of serious injury. Frequently, however, property owners do not ensure that this assumption is validated. Negligent maintenance of structures and fixtures, inadequate cleaning, improper storage, and other examples of a property owner’s failure to promote the safety of guests can directly cause slip and fall accidents.

Under premises liability law, injured parties may be entitled to pursue a legal action against the owner of the property where the accident occurred. If you have been hurt in a slip and fall accident that happened on another individual or company’s property, then you might have grounds for filing a civil lawsuit.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Though slip and fall accidents may not seem to be apparently dangerous, they have the potential to permanently affect an individual’s quality of life. Moreover, they can inflict severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Those costs should not be borne by the accident victim, and a successful lawsuit ensures that they will not be. Common slip and fall injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Fractured bones
• Severe contusions
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Damage to ligaments and other connective tissues
