SLIP AND FALL INJURIES

Slip and falls are mainly caused by a slippery surface. When human beings walk, two types of slips can occur.  One of these occurs as the heel of the forward foot meets the walking surface and the front foot slips forward forcing the person to fall backward. The other type occurs when the rear foot slips backward applying force to move forward on the sole of the rear foot.

The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) has stated that slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of work-related injuries for workers age 55 and older.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A SLIP AND FALL?

When a slip and fall happens, it is important to determine who was responsible for the fall. If there were dangerous or hazardous conditions that caused the victim to trip and injure himself, the owner or the renter who was in control of and in charge of maintaining the property can be held legally responsible for the slip and fall accident.To determine if a property owner or renter should be held liable for a slip and fall injury, it is important to understand:

  • What obligation, if any, the property owner had to the injured victim: Stores, restaurants and other public places that invite guests in to do business have the highest duty to their patrons and must inspect the premises and either warn guests of dangerous conditions or fix hazards that exist. Homeowners also have a duty to guests and friends they invite over, but, while they must fix hazards or warn guests about them, they have no obligation to inspect for them and must only take care of risks they know about or reasonably should be aware of.
  • Whether that obligation was breached:If the property owner failed to maintain the property in a reasonably safe way, the owner can be held legally liable.
  • The extent of the injuries:Slip and fall accident victims or their loved ones can obtain compensation for medical bills and costs, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and wrongful death damages. A slip and fall accident lawyer can help to determine and prove the extent of the losses.

Injured victims of slip and falls can pursue their claim for compensation by proving that the property owner had an obligation and was negligent in living up to his duties.

GETTING HELP FROM A SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT LAWYER

If you or a loved one was hurt by a slip and fall accident, you can recover the compensation you deserve through negotiating a settlement or through filing a lawsuit and proving a fall claim in court. When pursuing either option, it pays to be represented by a slip and fall accident lawyer so you can have the best chance of maximizing the compensation available in your situation. The compensation you can obtain after a fall can make all the difference in helping to achieve financial security, get the medical care you need, and move on with your life. Our team of legal professionals is here to help you. While not all slip and fall accidents are preventable, some result directly from the negligent or careless behavior of others, including property owners. When an injury occurs due to another’s negligent behavior, compensation is often available.
