Slip, Trip & Fall Injury Claims

Slip, trip, and fall accidents can happen anywhere—on icy sidewalks, wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained property. These seemingly minor accidents can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and long-term medical complications.

Common Causes of Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are typically the result of hazardous property conditions, including:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven surfaces or broken flooring
  • Poor lighting in stairways or hallways
  • Loose rugs, mats, or carpeting
  • Cracked sidewalks or potholes
  • Cluttered walkways and debris
  • Missing handrails or unsafe stairs
  • Ice or snow accumulation

Property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to do so, they may be liable for resulting injuries.

Types of Injuries in Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor to life-altering, such as:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Head injuries and concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
  • Hip and knee injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries and sprains
  • Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
  • Wrongful death

Older adults and children are especially vulnerable to severe injuries from falls.

What to Do After a Slip or Trip & Fall Accident

To protect your health and your legal rights after a fall:

  1. 1. Seek medical attention immediately
  2. Report the incident to the property owner or manager
  3. Request an incident report if available
  4. Take photos or videos of the hazardous condition
  5. Gather witness contact information
